I am almost to the point of needing a lot more help. I get into some production runs of 4 or 5 parts now. While not ready to buy just yet, I want to find the best brands and different options.
At the places I have worked before we had Mazak, Takisawa, and other cnc lathes.
My need isn't for something that advanced or complicated.
How many of you are using the "Smart Lathes "? If so what brand and year model?
What are some things to watch out for?
One with the add-on turet would be nice ( I think ). Again advice, on the turret, too.
There will be people saying go ahead and get a used Mazak from the 90's.
I don't want to go that route.
The "teach " or " learn " lathes seem like what my shop needs.
Thanks in advance,
JAckal
