HaasLOL. We have a few of them, nice lightweight machines for aluminum.
I'd like to see you mill a submarine propeller on one.
The American machine tool industry that once led the world died in the 1980's.
Well the statement was "6 axis". I am sure that if you wanted one to machine a propeller they would build it - for a price. I assure you they are not light weight and run circles around most other similar units in productivity. I just pulled a job off on one that was three days of very complex moves - the material is 4140. They do make a 120" already but they have continually responded to the market needs for bigger machines. I know of one in this area where the guy built the bed (very large) and put a Haas head on it to do special work for Uncle Sugar.You are correct the industry died but there may be some small comeback of key tools.
