Hi Guys,

I'm picking up my first Haas VMC (a VF0-E) which I'm told is the same as a VF-2, but without the gearbox. The problem is, I don't have the original shipping blocks to prevent damage during shipping.

I'm looking for dimensions on the head support/table brace that keeps all the axes locked together in transport, so I can fab one up before I move the VMC this weekend. I don't want to damage anything in transit, but don't have time to order one either. Any help would be a real life saver. TIA,

Ian

Here is a zip file with pictures and dimensions..and a note or two..Good luck..

All the legs, plus the top, are 2" wide..3/16" material..

[Mr. Technical]

Thanks very much for the quick and thorough response! I'll get to work putting one of these together. Incidentally, what version VMC was this off of?

All are been the same..I have a VF1,VF2,VF3, and MiniMill...and all have the same brace..
