Why did I buy this machine ?
Building truck models requires very often thick parts made of metal. Think about a construction machine with hydraulic system. The efforts and torques are very high and the parts have to be very robust. To get exact parts you need a machine ,which is very robust and has a strong milling motor. When I was at company Haase and watched them milling some parts, I immediately bought the machine. Also the max. dimensions of 600 mm by 400 mm by 80 mm was exactly what I needed.
I also bought a cutter for folios. With this equipment I can cut decals for my trucks very easily.
