2005 Haas TM-2 CNC Toolroom Mill

The Haas TM-2 is a 40-taper CNC toolroom mill built for shops that want straightforward, programmable milling with the simplicity of a knee mill and the repeatability of CNC. This 2005 machine offers 40 x 16 x 16 in. travels (X/Y/Z) over a 57.75 x 10.5 in. table rated to 1,000 lb, driven by a 7.5 HP belt-drive spindle turning to 4,000 RPM through a CAT 40 taper, with 200 IPM rapids and an automatic umbrella tool changer for unattended tool selection. The easy-to-learn Haas control handles both conversational and standard G-code programming, making the machine quick to set up for prototypes, fixtures, and short-run parts, and it runs on standard 208-240V shop power.

Compared to the smaller Haas TM-1, the TM-2 expands the work envelope from 30 x 12 in. to a full 40 x 16 in. in X and Y, accommodating larger plates, fixtures, and multi-part setups the TM-1 cannot hold. Set against a traditional manual knee mill, the TM-2 adds full CNC motion control, programmable repeatability, and automatic tool changing while keeping the open, easy-to-load toolroom layout - so a buyer steps up from hand-cranked, one-off work to repeatable programmed production without the footprint or cost of a fully enclosed VMC.
