2014 Haas TM-1P CNC Toolroom Mill

The Haas TM-1P is a 40-taper CNC toolroom mill with a reputation for approachable, dependable control that has made it a staple in prototype shops, maintenance departments, and short-run production. This 2014 machine offers travels of 30 x 12 x 16 inches (X by Y by Z), a 40-taper spindle rated to 4,000 RPM driven by a 7.5 HP vector drive, and 200 IPM rapids over a 47.75 x 9 inch T-slot table. It runs the Haas control with a 10-pocket carousel automatic tool changer and rigid tapping, and it is wired for both 4th- and 5th-axis expansion, giving a shop a clear path to add rotary work as needs grow.

Compared with a manual knee mill or the base Haas TM-1, the TM-1P steps up to the full Haas CNC control with expanded program memory, rigid tapping, and an automatic tool changer - turning what was a hand-cranked or bare-bones toolroom operation into a programmable machining process. Where an operator once indicated and cranked each axis by hand, the TM-1P runs G-code, repeats setups, and changes its own tools, so a shop moves from one-off manual parts to repeatable small-batch production without stepping up to a full-size, higher-cost VMC. The result is an accessible on-ramp to CNC machining that keeps toolroom and prototype work in-house.
