Just bought a new VTC 250/50

Polishpiper · May 9, 2007

Anyone have one? We got with the 6000 RPM 2 speed gear box (we do only steel machining). We also got the table divider so we can use as a poor man's pallet changer. Just curious to here any input on this machine. First Mazak we have bought. We are mainly a turning shop with the exception of a Haas VF4. I sure hope this machine will be a step up. Will be installed in July.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks, I'm new to this forum and love it!

We have a 250/50. Also have a little baby brother 200/50. Have replaced a Z-axis servo on the 250/50. All the trouble that I know of. Cut mainly cast iron. Do swing an 8" facemill about 0.015" cut though. Go slow for surface finish though.

The table on the thing is full already. And really wishing it had more than the 20 something toolholders it does (although we lose three with the 8" facemill). Definately a step up from a VF4.

Thanks CatMan,
How many years of service before you had to replace the Z axis servo? Did something happen for it to go out?
Thanks
