Think he'll trade it for a UMC750 and everything in my left pocket?

UMC750 is pretty much same machine….I can’t imagine why not

From what I have seen Mikrons are not popular here nor do they hold their value well (which is fine for me). I think the Heidenhain control scares people off. We have been able to buy a few of these machines recently for next to nothing, especially considering the pallet pools built in.
I think it was you that posted quite a while ago about an E500 U machine. That machine looks very clean and like a nice setup for prototype work but it's still for sale. Biggest detractor for me was the low RPM. I'd like to get a 20K and run at 15K all day with it since most of my work is aluminum.

Here being the US. And I should have stated not as popular in the used market specifically.

People love Heidenhain.

I think its the Mikron that scares people.

People who already use it maybe, but that group is very small.
Who (MTB) is using Heidenhain in the US as their main/only control option besides Mikron? I know some offer Heidenhain and Siemens but in US markets Siemens is the main one by a considerable margin.

 

[Phrebicek]

I'm pretty sure DMG also uses the Heidenhain

Hermle and Kern are two others that are only/mostly Heidenhain in the US. Once you get used to it, it is a nice control.

I'm not knocking the control at all. It's a good control, but most people don't have experience with it and therefore stay away from it. Hermle and Kern are not common machines.

How many shops have HAAS/FANUC controlled machines and MasterCAM because they know that will ensure and employee pool to choose from?

Small? Hardly. Perhaps in your neck of the woods.

Look at those names of the machines Heidenhain comes on. Not popular ya because most people can't afford them.
