Hey everyone! I am looking to bring in some CNC capability to our engineering team for basic tooling, fixturing, and prototypes. The HDM looks to be perfect for our needs, but I have been requested to get a sample part run off an HDM specifically.
Would anyone here be able to run a part of ours that would showcase the finish quality? We can handle a card transaction or an invoice, but we wouldn’t want to deal with sending money via PayPal or anything like that.
The part would be some 1/8" slots and a 1/2" deep pocket on a 2 x 6" piece of stock. If a video could be provided of the part being cut, that would be a cherry on top.
Yes, 6061 aluminum. I believe the question that they want to answer is “how far away from our Haas Mills is it?”. If our Haas VF4 takes 10 minutes to do a part, they would be satisfied if the HDM made a part of nearly equal quality in 20 minutes. Given that my proposed use case limits our use to profile and pocketing operations on it (not even threads, chamfers, or multi-tool operations), I think that the HDM would match the VF4 for most of the parts I would run across it.
