CNC Haas lathe wanted

[Janger]

Hi everyone

I’m trying to source a Haas cnc lathe or turning centre. Something not too big like a SL-10 or a ST-10 for example. I have a haas mill so this is a complementary machine for it.

If you have any leads for me please let me know.
Thank you everyone!
John

I'm curious.... what can a CNC lathe do that a CNC mill can't do?

In case there are two I would not mind getting one as well.

He is asking 16500. But one can try for less - so he says. Janger probably knows pricing better then me - feels touch expensive for 2005 - is it not?

To my knowledge Haas no longer supports controllers on machines older than 2007, so if there is a board issue it will need to be retrofitted with a new controller, which can be expensive.

Scott - how do you know this? That’s important Info I would like to confirm.

I can't find any official documents from Haas, but I have read from many people on different forums that pre Coldfire II controllers are no longer supported by Haas.

To my knowledge the history of Haas controllers is
~2006 Coldfire 1
~2008 Coldfire 2
2015 NGC

Haas phased in the new Coldfire 2 to different machines overtime around 2008. Haas does not support Coldfire 1 controllers anymore. Best way to make sure you have a supported controller is get the serial number of the machine and ask your local HFO what controller is on it.

Anybody know who bought the haas lathe, haas mill, and manual mill from the seller of the SL-10 referenced above? The seller told me somebody was buying all three. It was this ad.
