Orders are on the rise at many machine shops serving oilfield and gas producers, but there’s no telling how long the good times will last in the unpredictable energy industry. Shop owners must balance the benefits of expanding against the high cost of acquiring a machine like an oilfield lathe. Shops that buy used CNC machines may be better equipped to handle the ups and downs of this cyclical market.
Company Profile: Haas
Here at Machinery Marketing International, we have big respect for Haas. As one of the top machine tools manufacturers in the world, they produce some of our favorite work pieces – from the smallest Haas mini mills and lathes to the gargantuan VF-12 vertical machining center.
A Bit of History
Haas was founded in 1983, but didn’t develop its first vertical machining center until 1987. Called the VF-1, it was introduced into the market at prices comparable to overseas companies – something many were initially skeptical about. The Haas VF-1 is still on the market today, and still comes at a price under $50,000.
