Wow. That's a nice new toy. What are you going to make?

Right on Charlie.
Maybe someday I will buy one and put my ticket to use. Although I have probably forgotten how to even use it.

using and old 8N mazak (8hp 1991) lathe doing a 1/8" deep pass on a piece of mild steel theres only 60% lod on the motor so like 5.5HP, on the haas SL20(2007 22hp "vector drive"), I have 96% load with the exact same cut, material and insert SFM and feed 22hp motors my ass! There like a honda's NO TORQUE
