Thinking aboot buying a Haas or Cincinatti used CNC.
I currently have a Hardinge and have had EXCELLENT customer support! They will try to talk me through anything, and doo not push to get a service guy here at all. This allows me to get my machine back up and running quicker and cheaper, and I would rather work on my own stuff anyhow. They make up for it in the price of the repair parts I am sure, but with the tech support, I don't feel bad at all.
I also have an old (83) Cinn, but can't say I have had much trouble with it. What trouble I have had (bad batteries) Cinn couldn't help me. After 9 yrs, I can't say as to wheather Cinn has good support or not. Maybe THAT is the best statement of all eh?
What can anyone tell me aboot Haas or Cinn that has had much experience? Doo you think it matters whether or not you bought it new or used? Doo they return phone calls in respectable time?
BTW, I have found a source finally for the 2 volt Cinn bats. Unfortunately I had just purchased a fairly large UPS to hook the memmory circuit too. (oh well, my cordless phones work well when the lights go out now, LOL!)
