OK I have more on the 2 machines I have narrowed it down to. Some of the machines I have looked at were junk. I have not had a chance to see the integrex in person yet, will be going esky this week.
Sqt15ms 1992 c axis 1 owner t32-3 conttol, don't think it has eia option enabled still looking into this, does not have y axis. Lots of tooling, bar feeder, spindle liner, parts catcher, full set of collet and collet chuck on main spindle 3 jaw brown and sharp on subspindle. Will cost $28k
Integrex 30y 1998 very good condition t plus control, kitagaws chuck, has eia and expanded memory, tons of live and regular tooling, about 50 tools total. tailstock, y axis does not have b axis, or subspindle. I can get this machine for $25k they need it out of the shop for a new machine next week plus they own a trucks and will ship it for fuel cost.
The integrex is huge. I am a one man operation and will do more than I need at the moment but the y axis would be nice on some items. In addition to having longer z axis. It would open up more possibilities in the future and it is cheaper.
The sqt will do everything I need I don't really need the subspindle but it may come in handy like the y axis on the integrex, the eia or g code has me concerned though. I currently use Inventor with HSM CAM for all of my work. I need to see if I can find a post for Mazatrol t32-3 that will work.
I mainly do gunsmithing true receivers, cutting chambers, tenons, muzzles, I started out looking fir the c axis since my mill dies not have a 4th axis to simply engrave the barrel with the caliber and my name. Then I thought about other work I could do possibly like truing receivers drilling scope base holes and turning solid match bullets.
I know I can do all of this on a manual lathe but I think the cnc would speed it up, reduce chance of errors, and improve accuracy. I will keep my manual lathe for now. But I think once I learn to run either machine things will go faster on it and I will be able to do additional general machine work. There is not a machine shop anywhere near me that has cnc. And only a few with manual machines.
I like the simplicity of the sqt but the integrex opens up a whole lot more capability I think. Whichever I choose I will probably look for a Swiss style machine for making bullets in the future as several people told me I couldn't really do them very well on either of these machines.
