Hello! We are spending so much money on manufacturers here in Sweden that we are considering buying our own lathe to make our main part.
We are therefore wondering if you guys could help us out in what we should look for?
There is tight with space in our facility so the requirements are as follows;
*Compact
*Spindle bore Ø > 65mm(2,56 inches)
*Dual spindle(has a sub spindle?)
*Live tooling
+As cheap as possible
The product is a steel-ring that is about 9mm thick that needs milling from live tooling from both sides. Takes about 3min to manufacture in the Mazak machine that is producing them now.
I'm very novice in this and I would appreciate your indulgence =)
Thanks in advance!
