My proshop's Haus Machine has been down for about a year now, just got the parts in 3 weeks ago, but they all went to the nats and have been swamped with work since, so they haven't got it put back together yet.
Keep it clean.

My shop has one (I think it's the Haus) but said he doesn't like to use it. Said something about causing flat spots on the ball and it being quicker to resurface on the spinner.

If he is getting flat spots, then he needs to "motivate" the ball and its oscillation from time to time. Especially in a plugged ball...

That is the newer model of the Haus machine. We have one too in our shop. They made some very quality upgrades to the first model. It runs smoother, stays cleaner, and truthfully does a better overall job.

Who needs a 300 or 800, when I have a 294 and a 295!?!?!

Isn't the point of the machine to put the ball in and walk away?
He just mentioned that in his opinion is was quicker and easier to just use the spinner. It seemed that he thought the Haus was too slow. He mentioned something about since it makes the surface uniform, if there is plug work, it keeps turning the ball, more than needed for the other parts. ???? I've never seen him use it, but I did see it there and asked about it.....he wasn't big on it.
He turned it on for me and I was surprised at how slow it actually turned. From what I've read about them, the Haus (and Cook Sphere) look really nice and seem like they'd be a nice asset for a shop.
Just relating my discussions with my shop about the machine.

Anyway, looks like a nice peice of equipment. If you dont mind me asking, whats something like that run in cost?
And another question, is that a Punisher or PBA Inferno in the machine??

Yes, you can just turn the knob and walk away, but when this machine is new, you can't help but stare in amazement. LOL

Brotha, that's pretty cool. I've never seen this version of the Haus resurfacing machine. Looks like it has a shield that covers about 90% of the ball while it is rotating. Neato!

From nicks pictures with the ball in the machine, the swirls are blurred. That looks like its moving fairly quick to blur the swirls like that.

Then I saw the Cooke Sphere machine. It works better than the Haus or at least equally as well and you don't have to clean it nearly as often. I provide the tension/pressure to the ball, and like the Haus you can walk away, but I never leave the timer for more than about 2 minutes.
Both machines turn pretty slowly, BUT it is like running THREE ball spinners on the ball at one time, overall these machines are very fast and very accurate. You might be able to do a faster job on the ball spinner, but you won't be able to do as good a job. Wet sanding on the ball spinner will tend to make flat spots bigger, and increase bevel around holes, plus on the spinner I can't walk away. I'm drilling another ball while a ball is being resurfaced on the Cooke machine.
A resurfacing machine is almost a must for any medium to high volume shop. It makes your plug work look great, and resurfacing a damaged ball is a snap. Velcro is such an awesome invention, we use sandpaper, Abralon, Scotch Brite, diamond coated discs, and Abranet on our resurfacing machine, all work great. Don't use the lambs wool pads for polishing too much, but it works nice too.
Once Nick gets a milling machine, he will be in this century!! LOL!!
