It was made by Hitachi Seiki... then Cincinnati put their control on itI have a Talon 208 and we love it. I've been told alternately that it was made by Hitachi Seiki and by Leadwell, I can't verify either one. No frills, but slugs out perfect .0002 parts with no issues. I also have a Cinturn, I'm told there's no Japanese equivalent to that.
You mean the Talon? I'm not sure. It had the head and turret knocked out of line when I got it, came from a college, I don't think they ever ran it again after that because it still had all the OEM paint on the inside. If it had the clutches, I don't think it would have been knocked out of line?
I think it depends on the particular model and application to be run.....which one ya looking at?

What is the center distance or Z travel on yours? 12 inches or so?
HS offered the same models and I bought the one with a longer Z.. back in I think 1987.
As I remember the other dif was Cincinnati version had more tools in the turret. maybe 10 or 12 ? not sure...
Yep... not sure how many yrs that same machine was offered by Cincy and HS and the only dif I know of was the Z travel the turret and the control.The Talon series is that old?
