I have currently been looking at purchasing a new to me vmc. I have a $20000 budget and am looking at a few different machines and would like some opinions on them, such as durability, things that I would have to replace, average cost of maintaining the machine. I am looking at a couple different fadals, either 4020, 3020, and 3016. There is a couple of Kitamura Mycenter 3. I see that there is a few different type of mycenter 3s, some have a side mount tool changer and some have the tool changer in the back. Currently I have a mycenter 1 with fanuc om and I really like the machine. I have also ran accros a 1994 Mori Seiki MV-40, I know mori seiki has a really good reputation but I have not found that much info regarding this machine, it does have Mori/Fanuc F-M6 controls on it. I have also considered a used Haas but with my budget it would be a late 90s model machine and I do not know how good a Haas from the 90s would be. I am open to any opinions on machines and if there is something else that I should considered please let me know.
Thank you.
Thank you.
