If you read the transcript, it’s a pretty weak sauce link via a distributor with zero context.
I’m going to call it a non-story until proven otherwise. |

I almost read that as Hesse……. I was thinking sending their stuff from a crappy gun maker might be a good thing

Self correcting problem, the Haas machines are probably broken down by now anyway

It’s ok. They will be clapped out by years end anyway.

Quoted: If you read the transcript, it's a pretty weak sauce link via a distributor with zero context. I'm going to call it a non-story until proven otherwise. View Quote "Haas no longer supplies machines, replacement parts, or anything else to any companies in Russia. Statements to the contrary are false." But our investigation puts that account into doubt. Customs records reviewed by "NewsHour" show that shipments continued for months after Russia's invasion began. At least 18 shipments were made to Russia directly from Haas worth $2.8 million from March 4 through October of last year. $2.8 million certainly doesn't get you a lot of CNC machines or parts though. It's not like this was a scheme by Haas to get filthy rich from the war, especially since demand for CNC equipment by the wealthy NATO/US MIC must also be through the roof. Maybe the distributor got into a jam after shipping something to the Russians with critical parts backordered and somebody at the Haas mothership unwisely consented to help the distributor out. |

For ol'Gene sake I hope this isn't true. His asshole is probably still sore from his last prison stint.
ITAR is no joke. |

Quoted: What’s wrong with haas machines? View Quote They occupy a (large) market segment. Within that segment they're fine. Expecting the machines to do things they aren't designed to leads to a lot of disappointment, and Haas had a habit of overstating capabilities. They also fairly well dominate the educational scene, for better or worse (I vote worse). |

Meh, who really gives a shit. He’s running a business and a customer wanted something. Not like he was selling him plans for the f-35 or other classified shit.

View Quote These sales, if true, probably violate ITAR restrictions among other things. A lot of machining equipment is subject to ITAR because it can be used to make advanced military hardware there's really no other way to make. And the US takes ITAR very seriously. In fact, right now I have a Citizen lathe that got bumped by a forklift hard enough last night that it's movement alarm was triggered. It's now on a 72 hour countdown before it shuts it's self off, because it thinks it may have gotten resold to someone not authorized to have it. Im waiting on Citizen to send me a code specific to that machines serial number and today's date to reset it. This is all due to ITAR requirements. |

I have a couple of machines similarly equipped with GPS to alert the manufacturer that the machine has been moved. It bricks the control until a company technician logs the location and resets it. |

Don’t give a shit. Still going to happily hit run/start at the beginning on the day.

Fuck haas.
Gene is a dick. His machines are shit. I wonder if Haas will get the Strelok treatment. |

If I remember correctly, several crate of spare parts were sent, and I am sure they were embedded with tracking devices. These machines are not used for much, but mostly used for jet and rocket engines, etc... So.... My dad's client list is a who's who of DoD contractors. |

Is the outrage that some Slavs had to pay for the own shit?
Or did the US finance this too? |

Quoted: My boss was considering one. I dont know anything about CNC machines View Quote For a lot of shops a Haas makes perfect sense, just like a lot of shops would do perfectly fine with a Tormach, or even a prototrak. But the internet is full of people running the latest and greatest $800k machine and will assure you that anything less is useless. It's a lot like gun culture, actually. |

How is it our or Ukraine's business who Haas sells michines to?

Quoted: How is it our or Ukraine's business who Haas sells michines to? View Quote The kinds of machines Haas makes are export controlled items because they have military uses. You can't sell Russia a VMC for the same reason you can't sell North Korea an unrestricted IMU; they're a pile of filthy cunts that'd use that shit to wage war on their neighbors. |

There's A LOT of ways around the ITAR requirements. Was working in an aerospace shop in 2003 that was opening up a production shop in China, could only ship our old 3 axis machines there since Gov't said nothing multi-axis could go to the CCP. Fast forward to 2008 and I get hired at Boeing as they're selling an old Cincinnati 5 axis mill. Where was it going? CCP.

View Quote There’s a well known (and much hated) manufacturer that is the subject of the occasional thread here. They make what are, in my experience, quite accurate guns. Based on what I see on their IG, they use quite a few HAAS machines. I know nothing of machining so take the above for what it’s worth. |

Haas makes mediocre machines.
Nothing impressive. Dont give a fuck if theyre made in USA. There are better machines |
