Hey everyone,

We're looking to get another machine and this 1998 Mazak FH480 Mazatrol M-Plus Horizontal Machine looks to be a good match for us. We have all Haas right now, but we found a 480 for sale while looking around.

Basically, what should we look out for? This one in particular has a whole new spindle drive system. Is there anything else we should look out for, problems, reviews, any and all information is appreciated because like i said, we're new to Mazaks.

Thanks anyone for your help and insight.
 
Is there power to it? can you see it run? Find a good experienced mazak tech and have them really evaluate it before you purchase.

There is power to the machine, and we can go see it run. The machine has also had preventative maintenance done to it since it was new. Thanks for your input, anything else?

Oh, what about programming on Mazatrol? Can it take G-code from Mastercam X5 or do you have to program at the machine itself? Is it similar to HAAS? All our machinists know G-code like the back of their hands, so would it be an easy transition to the new machine??
