They're a small shop, this will be their first swiss machine. I'm doing a 500 piece capability run after holding a cpk of 2.92 on a +/- .001" feature on a 30 piece run. 17-4 stainless, the endmill cutting the flat lasted 300 pieces before it started pushing a burr, but 2 turning tools and the cutoff tool still going strong at 450 pieces. I've moved 2 offsets <.0005 and that's it.

That sounds like a pretty sweet gig, met a guy that was a distributor for Haas and his stories plus what you said make it sound awesome. I've been out of the machining world for about 10 years. I miss it, but my eyes aren't what they used to be so it's probably for the best.
