The Haas CM-1 is a compact CNC vertical machining center with a reputation for simple, dependable precision that has made it a staple in medical, dental, electronics, and prototype shops. This 2020 unit is configured as a 5-axis machine with a Haas TRT70 dual-axis tilting rotary table mounted on a 20 x 10 inch table rated for 150 lbs, with travels of X 12 / Y 10 / Z 14 inches and a spindle-nose-to-table range of 2.6 to 16.6 inches. The 50,000 RPM ISO 20 taper spindle is driven by a 5 HP motor, with 757 IPM rapids and a 500 IPM maximum cutting feed. A 36-station umbrella-style automatic tool changer holds tools up to 2.3 inch diameter and 5 lbs, with a 3.2 second tool change. The Haas Next Generation Control (NGC) is equipped with high-speed machining, tool center point control and dynamic work offsets for 5-axis work, rotation and scaling, macros, rigid tapping, VPS editing, media display, 32GB memory, Ethernet, USB, and wireless networking with Haas Connect remote monitoring. Flood coolant, window air blast, and an assortment of toolholders and tooling round out the package.
Compared with Haas's earlier OM-2A office mill, which ran a 30,000 RPM ISO 20 spindle with a 20-station tool carousel on the previous-generation Haas control, this CM-1 steps up to a 50,000 RPM spindle for small-diameter tooling, a 36-station tool changer for longer unattended runs, and the Haas NGC control with TCPC and DWO for true simultaneous 5-axis programming. Pairing that control with the TRT70 trunnion lets one setup reach five faces of a part, cutting fixture count and hand-off error on complex micro components. The result is a compact machine that does far more than an office mill: faster spindle, deeper tool capacity, and a modern control built for 5-axis work.
