Summary:
  • Restored a used Haas TM2 mill by performing full teardown cleaning and configuring washdown and spindle coolant systems
  • Sourced an HRT-160 rotary 4th axis at auction and integrated it onto a pre-wired Haas TM2
  • Identified HRT-160 door clearance interference on the Haas TM2 and resolved it with minimal angle grinder modification

My haas has a 16x16x40 machining volume.

Washdown and spindle coolant in the same setup

Several months later 2022-02 I purchased a 4th axis since the machine was wired and I got a good deal at an auction.

According to the haas website the hrt-160 has an “ALTERNATIVE FIT: CAUTION” in the haas TM2. In practice I’ve found that it interferes with the door by a couple mm. The only issue is if the table tries to home with the doors closed it will catch and drag the door open. Good things the door locks are… perfectly functional. A bit of work with an angle grinder would clearance it
