That week we ran a 48-hour production test on the new Haas VF-4SS with a ceramic spindle.

We pushed it to 15,000 RPM for a complex aluminum housing run, and the finish quality was so good we cut our secondary polishing time in half, which saved the project about $1,200 in labor.

We saw similar results with a high-speed spindle on some steel parts, it really cut down on our bench work time too.

Bench work is the worst part of the job, glad you found a way to cut it down. Now if only we could get a machine to do the paperwork too.
