Well, the big move is fast approaching and things are starting to fall into place now.
One of my biggest concerns was being down for a week while the move is made.
My rigger estimates two days for moving equipment and on top of that, I need to get everything shut down disconnected and made ready to ship, so that will be at least a day before and most likely a day or even two after the move to get machines leveled and dialed in dead nuts before being put back into production.
I am NOT looking forward to this project, but at the same time cannot wait to get started!!
I did however just put to rest my biggest fear of being down for a week.
Just signed a PO for this little gem last Friday!! Now, I can have it installed in the new shop and have it up and running making parts before pulling the plug on the old shop!
I can only hope it is just that simple!!
Haas VF-0 Vertical Machining Center 20Hp, Rigid Tapping, Programmable Coolant, Chip Auger, 1Mb of Memory, 4th Axis Drive.
The machine is coming out of a training facility and for its age, (1998) has virtually no hours on it. My sales guy, (who I've known for years) states it has always been serviced and maintained by Haas and the machine hours are correct. Only 250 hours of cycle time.
That's just barely broken in!!
Will have pictures of the unloading and putting into my building when the time comes.
Later,
Russ
