I think this might be a Canadian question as I'm not sure they are available in the US.
I am looking to replace an old VMC and this First V700 caught my eye at CMTS.
CNC Machinery - Vertical Milling Machine - Radial Drill : Products : FIRST HIGH SPEED VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER
They are made by a Taiwanese company called Long Chang Machinery and are carried by Heinman near me. I have used the First manual mills and the quality of them is good. The dealer Heinman also has a good reputation. It comes with some good standard features like roller guides, 10k direct drive spindle, 24 tool side mount ATC, transformer, and a Fanuc Oi Mate control. I am looking for something that competes with a Haas quality machine and this one looks like it fits the bill.
Has anyone worked with this machine, or First in general, and can give an opinion?
