Hi all,
I am looking for a small footprint VMC with Toolchanger. I am wanting the machine to cut mild steel and possibly stainless steel. The products I make are generally small items (each item approx 1" cubed). I have £10,000 to spend, I would prefer 2nd hand as my finances are limited. So far I know about the Haas Mini mills but fear these are out of my range. I am also aware of the Yang SMT-500 machines but have a concern these wont give a good finish on steel meaning I will have to spend ages polishing parts afterwards. Having a tool change facility would be great.
Can anyone give any recommendations on machines types please? I will also need to add a 4th axis eventually.
Steve
