I am interested in upgrading from a 14" takasawa lathe to a cnc/toolroom lathe that can turn 9" over crosslide.The lathe will be used in a toolroom to maintain and build production machinery.Pretty light usage, not at all for weeks at a time then for 2 to 6 hrs.Mostly cutting alum.I am happy with the current lathe except it is not quite large enough.My thought is that as long as I have to get another lathe, why not add cnc capability(I have one job that I have to manually profile)
I would like to spend around 20,000 so the lathe would have to be used.Does anyone have a recommendation as to what to look for and what to avoid?
thanks
