Machine Comparison
DMG Mori CMX 1100 V vs Haas CM-1
DMG Mori vs Haas Automation · Vertical Machining Centers
Summary
The DMG Mori CMX 1100 V and the Haas CM-1 are both vertical machining centers, but they serve different jobs. The CMX 1100 V is a full-size machine for long parts, with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of X travel and a 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) load limit. The Haas CM-1 is a compact mill for small parts, with 12 in (305 mm) of X travel and a 150 lb (68 kg) table limit.
The CMX 1100 V is larger on every axis: 560 mm (22 in) in Y against 10 in (254 mm), and 510 mm (20.1 in) in Z against 14 in (356 mm). Its table measures 55.1 x 22.0 in against 22.5 × 10 in (572 × 254 mm). The CM-1 is built for micro-milling and engraving with small cutters, work where a large envelope is not needed.

Haas CM-1
- Compact machine sized for small parts within 12 × 10 × 14 in (305 × 254 × 356 mm)
- Suited to micro-milling, engraving and fine-detail finishing with small cutters
- A fit for workshops and labs that have only single-phase power
Verdict
These machines do different jobs, so choose by part size. The DMG Mori CMX 1100 V is for long parts such as rails, bars and extrusions, with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of X travel and a 1,000 kg (2,204.6 lb) load limit. The Haas CM-1 is for small, light parts under 150 lb (68 kg): micro-milling, engraving and fine-detail work in a workshop or lab. A shop considering one is rarely considering the other.
