We placed our first machine order in 2017.  a new CNC mill, the HAAS VF-4SS.  I thought this would be a fantastic starting point for opening my own machine shop, even though the majority of my career has been spent operating components on 3-axis CNC mills.  I'm very grateful that we started with a slightly larger machine because the mill has been a really nice machine thus far.  Prototyping, Swiss Lathe Work in High Volume, or Short Run Production
