The support alone is worth getting this machine over a haas. Insanely good support.
I think a better comparison would be the TM series from haas. When we put the tm1p in our garage it came down to capacity. It was hard to beat the travels. The kick in the balls is when you need options over capacity. Add a 4th axis to a haas it's a 20k situation. You want high speed machining wi
As someone with a tormach I understand what your saying John 200% is it going to compete with a speedio, VF, etc no. But I think a lot of people are overlooking tormachs target audience.
