Hey all,
We're thinking about getting a VF2YT and I need some help choosing what options I need and what is just bells and whistles.
The machine will be used for mostly prototypes and very short runs. Used not very often. It will cut all materials, AL, Steels, S/S, wood, plastic, brass, copper etc. We would like to fine details(hi RPM spindle) probably 3D contouring.
Right off the bat, I think High speed spindle(10k or 15k?), High speed machining, programmable air nozzle.(programmable coolant nozzle too?)
Here is what I am unsure about:
Chip conveyor,
all of the program/controller options(we already have a cam system)
gearboxes
any anything else I may have missed
I like the Side Mount TC, but don't think I could really justify it.
Thanks
