I'm guessing it's the VF-0 that's cancelled, right?
Sorry, maybe the coffee hasn't had time to do it's thing for my head.

Very nice. Does Haas send someone out to commission it or are you on your own? I'm guessing you have to wait for power etc.

He told me that the Haas people are coming to the shop on Monday to fire it up. Hopefully his electrician will have the machine connected to the power tomorrow.
Russ will have to run on his 200amp single phase power via a rotary phase converter for some time. No word on how long the power company is going to take to put up transformers and hook him up to the sweet 3-phase power.
