If they built that infrastructure, they'd have to charge as much as Haas does. What would be their "value add" that would make them a viable competitor against the companies that have been in that market for decades? One of the keys to a successful business is understanding who your customer is, and what you can, and cannot, do.

Ray’s right. I had a Haas TM-1 when I had my shop and as much as I hate to say it, my Haas was a WAY better machine than my Tormach.
