I've used Haas CNC Vertical mills (VF-3) and I really have no complaints with them. the beds are cast Iron and are very very well damped, unlike machines made from welded steel plate which vibrate and ring like nobody's business. The control for the mills are virtually identical with the controls for the lathes so if you know how to operate one, you know how to operate the other. No retraining for different systems required.
