Hi
I want to buy a used CNC lathe for home/hobby use.
Considering the cost, it probably will be a smaller machine made in the 1990s.
Any advice on what manufacturer/model to look for, or to avoid, regarding availability of parts, service and manuals?
What type of control would you recommend or not recommend?
Are there any specific problems with specific manufactures.
Like: On machines from manufacturer 'A' you might find a problem with the spindle bearing.
or, manufacturer 'B' has a higher failure rate on tool changers.
This will be my first CNC machine and I am a total novice.
So, all and any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom
