Hi all, I'm looking at a 1993 Matsuura MC1000VF, ex aerospace machine, seems to be well looked after with 15k spindle and high pressure coolant. Control is an i80. Thing is, I have 2 very old Matsuura's in the shop that are great for low rpm heavy milling, they have been great machines for the many casting jobs we do, I just don't know what to expect from a high rpm spindle. Any thoughts on what's possible with this machine, depth of cut achievable with a 100mm face mill in stainless would give me some idea. Also are there any weaknesses with these machines?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
