2017 Haas TM-2P CNC Toolroom Mill with 4th-Axis Rotary

The Haas TM-2P is a CNC toolroom mill with a reputation for simple operation and dependable output that has made it a staple in toolrooms, job shops, maintenance departments and prototype cells. This 2017 TM-2P is a 3-axis vertical machine with X, Y and Z travels of 40 x 16 x 16 inches, built around a 57.8 x 10.5 inch T-slot table rated by Haas for 350 lb of evenly distributed load. Its 40-taper spindle is rated by Haas at 7.5 HP and 6,000 RPM through a belt drive, with a spindle-nose-to-table range of 4 to 20 inches for short fixtures and tall setups alike. Unlike the base TM models, the P-series adds a carousel-style automatic tool changer, accepting tools up to 3.5 inches in diameter and 12 lb in weight, so multi-tool programs run without stopping to swap holders by hand. The machine runs the Haas control, known for straightforward conversational programming, user macros and easy G-code editing. This unit also includes a Haas 4th-axis rotary table fitted with a 3-jaw chuck, opening the door to indexed and multi-sided work, bolt-hole patterns and cylindrical features in a single setup.

Compared with the base Haas TM-1 and TM-2 toolroom mills, the TM-2P is the step up that changes how the machine is used. The base TM-1 and TM-2 were designed around manual tool changes and a slower spindle, which suits one-off toolroom work but slows down anything with more than a few tools. Haas built the P models with a factory automatic tool changer, a faster spindle and higher rapids, and the TM-2P keeps the long 40 inch X-axis and 16 inch Y-axis of the TM-2 rather than the shorter travels of the TM-1P. Paired with the included 4th-axis rotary, that combination moves the TM-2P from a manual-assist toolroom mill into a true small-batch production tool: fewer setups, less operator time at the spindle, and the flexibility to quote multi-sided and repeat work that a base toolroom mill cannot run efficiently.
