... This old old Haas is serial #1529 (built in April 1992) was long ago dedicated to pre-drilling gas holes. Yeah, yeah, from the sound of her, she needs a little TLC ... ML

cody_pace_3gn_page I work in an aerospace shop that just got rid of our last pre 1984 edm. Oldest was 1979 we got rid of it last year
- laruetactical @cody_pace_3gn_page ... When was the last time you used the 1979 EDM and was it a sinker or wire ? 1 like
- cody_pace_3gn_page @laruetactical probably August. It's a sinker. Most of the controls had ben bypassed. Been sitting outside, uncovered, in Arizona since we got the cnc replacement.
