Those who watch the worldwide machine tool market, and manufacturers with cost and production headaches, have recognized the need for a dependable low-cost production mill. The TM-1P Toolroom Mill from Haas Automation, combines the best of both worlds: It is 'easy on the wallet', and has the power and flexibility of full CNC.

This model is based on the shop-proven Haas TM-1, but has many standard features that make it well suited for the production environment.

It comes 'out of the box' with faster speeds, an automatic tool changer and a full enclosure.

Sensible design and utility are characteristic of Haas Toolroom Mills.

The reliable 7.5HP vector drive spindle spins to 6,000 rev/min and uses standard 40-taper tools.

Rapids and cutting feedrates are 400in/min, double that of the non-enclosed TM-1.

The machine's 30in x 12in x 16in travels and a 57.75in x 14.5in T-slot table provide plenty of room for workholding and larger parts, and a 10-pocket tool changer is standard.

The TM-1P operates on either single- or three-phase power, and a one-piece cast-iron base/column damps vibration and provides rigidity - ensuring a high level of precision and repeatability.

One of the most-appreciated features of the TM-1P is the famous Haas Control.

Its easy-to-read color display and logical keyboard layout make it a pleasure to use.

The Haas Intuitive Programming System makes it one of the most user-friendly controls in the industry, and you don't have to understand G-code to make parts.

A number of high-productivity options are available for the TM-1P, including an auger-style chip conveyor, high-flow coolant system, a 20-pocket tool changer, 4th- and 5th-axis drives, rigid tapping and much more.

The rugged TM-1P incorporates the smart design and high quality that have made Haas the largest machine tool manufacturer in North America.

Built in the USA by Haas, the TM-1P is backed by the worldwide network of Haas Factory Outlets - the most extensive system of support and service in the industry.
