Advantages
Haas DT-1
- Lower list price, US$68,995 against US$70,995
- Slightly lighter at 5,150 lb (2,336 kg) against 5,350 lb (2,427 kg)
Haas DT-2
- 28 in (711 mm) X travel against 20 in (508 mm)
- 34 × 15 in (864 × 381 mm) table against 26 × 15 in (660 × 381 mm)
- Room for longer parts or multiple fixtures in one setup
Verdict
Both machines drill, tap and mill the same way, so the choice is part length. The Haas DT-1 suits valve bodies, manifolds and small aluminum parts that fit 20 in of X travel, at the lower US$68,995 list price. The Haas DT-2 is worth the small premium when longer parts or several fixtures need 28 in of X travel and the 34 × 15 in table.
