I am looking to purchasing the lathe pictured. I need a longer lathe as I have been working at the limits of my current lathe- Okuma LS540. But this last job is just beyond the limits and I am tired of just squeaking by.

The Mazak is a bit beat up, but I don't need it to be my primary lathe. I am looking to fill the gap and do the occasional long job.

Any info regarding to possible issues, weight, HP, Center-Center distance would be appreciated.

Another brand to consider would be Meuser.

They are a very versatile, well built machine. I haven't seen any beds shorter than 120". the legends take some getting used too but they cut inch, metric and module threads. Our machine can hold .002 over 5' without a problem.

Regards,
Alonzo
 
Thanks for the responses. From what I am finding the Mazak is just under 8k. I have made a deal with the seller and will pick it up sometime this week.
