We originally purchased our Hwacheon Vesta 660 to do production CNC milling. It's 24" by 18" table has enough travel to take on a bunch of different projects. Whether its milling features on to extrusions or milling a complete part out of a block of metal. It is a good entry level machine for us to get our feet wet in CNC milling.

Well, after several years of this machine collecting dust it is now part of production. It is not exactly what we anticipated but the machine is working well as a secondary machine. It is not being used to it's potential but it is tapping a hole on a part that we turn and drill on our Acme. The thread is a large thread and we need the horsepower of the mill to accomplish it. We may also use this machine to thread mill a tapered thread on another part because our other secondary machines are having difficulty with the tapered thread.

Although it's not underutilized, this machine is now an integral part of a production process. This will be a good filler job until we put a manufacturing engineer in place and get some true milling projects in the works. For this helps pays the bills.
