So if i was looking for a 5 axis trunnion to add to my mori what brand would you buy? I have searched everywhere and the only thing that ever comes up is from Haas...

I've heard good things about Nikken

Tsudokoma makes them too.

We use Sankyo and Tsudokoma. The Sankyo is fast, but the 4/5 is not trunnion and the spin table is only 100 mm diameter.

There's also Troyke where you can pretty much build what you want.

We recommend Tsudikoma and Nikken for 5 axis.

Tsudokoma and Yukiwa make a heavy duty tables good for milling. Tend to be a little slow if your production time is critical.

Nikken gives you decent speed, and is a good repeatable table.

Sankyo is the fastest I have seen, but do tend to be best for smaller parts.

Stay away from Yuasa. I have never had one we did not have something wrong with out of the box.
