We have had Mitsubishi wire machines since 1990, several generations of machines. We used to get local service through their distributor (now out of business). Now service comes out of Chicago. We have never had a service contract on any of our machines. I'm interested to know if it's common to have service contract, or do most not use them. I also wonder if it makes a difference on which brand of machine you have. I've been looking at Makino and their threading and guide system looks so much simpler, and simpler is always better for service and cleaning IMO. The drawback I see is Makino does not use a wire chopper which I really like with the Mits machines. Also was looking at Sodik but they haven't had much representation in the southeast recently. Anyway, what brand do you have, and do you find a service contract beneficial?
