Sill Plate

Machining with Probe

A Window and Door producer was having issues with the extrusions used in producing their door sills varying from batch to batch. Die Makers Mfg setup a Haas VF-2 vertical CNC 3 Axis Mill with a spindle probe to pick up and adjust coordinate offsets to provide next to perfect machining on varying types of extrusions.
