We're looking to purchase either a vf2 or the super speed model. If we got the regular vf2, we'd upgrade to the 10,000 spindle and most likely the side mount tool changer( pros and cons of that?). It would be nice sometimes to have the 12,000 spindle of the ss but not a deal breaker. We dont really need the faster rapids.
I have seen it mentioned, is rigidity still an issue on the ss model? I think what they were blaming it on was the courser ball screw pitch. Ive asked our salesman and he claims he's never heard of it. We machine 1018 steel alot, sometimes 6061 aluminum. On occasion tool steel.
Also, do you lose and torque on the 12,000 spindle over the 10,000?
What makes the vf2ss heavier than the vf2? Is it just the side mount changer being standard?
Thanks!
