I was hoping that some of you knowledgeable folk would be able to offer some advice on purchasing a 19996 or 2001 VF0-E.
I have ready alot about Haas in general, but my biggest concerns are with possible costs of repairs on this machine. Are there any major issues to look out for?
From what I understand these machines are basically a slightly more economical version of the VF2, with no gearbox and brushed motors. People seem to call them a lighter weight version.
The major percentage of work will be with Alloy of our own parts, so we aren't after a super heavy duty machine. We do however want a 4th axis, which we can get with either of these machines.
Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated
Thanks, Dan
