Hello,
I am a new machinist, interested in taking the jump to CNC. I don't know much about cnc, however I am a "quick learner".
The Bridgeport 16x40 EZ Path lathe has sparked my interest, being that it is a "teach lathe" . I am looking to make small production runs ( 50 - 100) of relative small parts.
The questions are:
Is this a good lathe /program?
Is it easy to learn cnc on it?
And what should one expect to pay for a used 1996 model wth low hours and basic tooling?
Or is there a different machine (smaller) that might suit my needs?
Thanks For your help,
Duke
