Haas has gotten better over the years and continues to offer more each year in the product line. They're like the 4th or 5th largest machine tool manufacturer in the world now. Are they a Makino? No, but they're 1/4 the price with 80% of the robustness and longevity. The servo drives are typically Japanese or British, the mill ball screws are Steinmeir (German) and the lathe I have uses Rexroth (Bosch) ways. Not sure where all the China slams come in on Haas...the machines are designed in Oxford, CA and some of the easiest machines to get parts for when needed.

I's also be willing to bet Jesse James has more money than most.
