Check out our new HAAS Super Mini Mill (sMiniMill)
We recently added this machine to the Metal Fabrication Division to improve thru put and to add to our capabilities.
This machine was built in USA using all American-made cast-iron components.
![HAAS Super Mini Mill This is our new HAAS Super Mini Mill [sMiniMill], it will add to our current capabilities and improve product delivery times.](/images/equipment/HAAS-sMiniMill.png)
This is the HAAS CNC Super Mini Mill Machines. Featuring a working area of 16" x 14" x 15" (406 x 356 x 381 mm). A standard 10,000 rpm spindle and a 45-gallon coolant tank.
This allows the smaller-sized HAAS Machine to increase yields while being full reliability and maintaining the expected accuracy all within a smaller overall machine. The machine also has a 30+1 side mount tool changer and a large 45-gallon coolant tank. We are excited to have this new machine at our Metal Fabrication machine shop.

We recently added this machine to the Fabrication Division to improve thru put and to add to our capabilities.


KLA's automated optical shaping (AOS) systems enable manufacturers to achieve high-speed, quality shaping of both opens and shorts that are identified along the PCB and IC substrate production line. As either an alternative to manual repair which often damages adjacent conductors and laminate, or for shaping fine lines on panels designated for scrap because they can’t be repaired manually, KLA's AOS solutions provide high-quality shaping, with minimum damage to the surrounding area for all main PCB applications including advanced high-density interconnects (HDI), IC substrates (ICS), multi-layer boards (MLB), flex PCBs and more. KLA's AOS solutions enable PCB and IC substrate manufacturers to increase yield and achieve significant cost savings by reducing their need to scrap panels of the most advanced, complex, fine-line PCBs, which in the past were beyond salvage.

Check out our new HAAS VF-4 for 2025!
We like the HAAS VF-4 so much, that we just bought another one...
This one was recently added to the Metal Fabrication Division to improve thru-put and to add to our capabilities.
This is one of our HAAS CNC mill machines. It is the Haas Automation's VF-4 vertical machining which has a working area of 1,270 x 508 x 635 mm with full XYZ travel and is built using all American-made cast-iron components.

The VF-4 is a rugged, medium-sized VMC that yields full reliability and accuracy in a moderately-sized machine. Also, the VF-4 has a 40-taper cartridge spindle driven by a 30 hp vector Dual-Drive (Y-Delta) drive. The VF-4 produces either 75 ft-lb of torque at a low 1,200 rpm or 250 ft-lb at 450 rpm with the optional 2-speed gearbox - and will also run up to 8,100 rpm in 1.2 seconds for finishing aluminum. This machine has added more capacity and precision to our current Fabrication machine shop area.
