A few pictures of the machine install

[Bob W.]

Had the new A51nx installed yesterday and everything went perfectly. This is a challenging layout for rigging a machine like this and Omega Morgan flat killed it, like they always do. Many kudos to them. It is a really tight fit but after reshuffling the shop I think we might actually be able to get work done and have room to move a little. I'll probably need to add more air conditioning capacity next spring though. We had to tear apart the header to get the Haas out. The tool changer is really high on that machine.

How do you get anythin' done being that close to the mountains?

Long cycle times :-) That is the view from the front of the shop and this is my favorite time of year. The outside temp is 70-75 so we open all the doors and just let the breeze blow through. Not too bad to be standing in front of the horizontal mill loading parts and have that to look at to the left. We are located in the best county there is in that we are completely legit with permits to run this on my residence and we have an 800 amp three phase service as well. If I ever move I will have to stay in Yamhill County and that isn't a joke. As long as they get their tax $$$ and the neighbors don't complain they are happy :-) Of course my neighbor has his own private shooting range so if anyone were to complain about noise it would be me.

I'd have left it right there and run it from an extension lead - what a view!!!

Is that SGI.4 on the pro 5? If so, you'll love it

Yes, both machines have it and it works really well, though expensive...
