I'm looking into purchasing a Multiplex 6250 to make adapter fittings that all require double operations. Before I hand over $300,000 of the owners money I was wondering if anyone had any feedback on the Multiplex, good or bad.
Obviously the Mazak sales guy says it is the greatest machine ever built and will not only make every part I want to 0.0000001" tolerance in 1.23 seconds, it'll also make donuts and coffee at the same time, but i'd like a second opinion
Specific questions I have are:
Is there ever a problem with changing the part from one chuck to the other?
I have a few long plastic parts that I am thinking about holding in both chucks and get them to spin simultaneously as i need more support than a live center or steady rest, Anyone tried this?
Any maintainence problems?
Is there any other brands out there worth considering? I'm looking for high quality with price not being so much of a factor.
Any other thoughts and comments would be appreciated too. I'm pretty new to this whole "real world" thing (recent grad) so i'd rather not stuff up my first big machine purchase.
Thanks in advance
