I have to buy a new machine for machinining some smaller 6-12" dia hardened ni hard castings.
currently running them on my dynapath with no issue other then slow tool change and rapid speed.
I've narrowed my choices down to a mazak VC-500C and a okuma GENOS 560
Any input on either of these machines, im a die maker not a CNC machinist but landed this job.
I'm liking the mazak because I can get a front load pallet changer and machine for $135,000
not sure how I like the cutter moving as opposed to the table though
okuma is gonna run me $99,000 no pallet changer
don't necessarily need the pallet changer but it will help reduce part Change time
my biggest concern is rigidity and dependability.
not sure what machine to go with any input is appreciated
