What are your thoughts on a new 1200s good or bad

I ran mv1200s 40 hours a week for 2 years. Solid, accurate machines. But you need to follow the maintenance plan, just like any other wire machine.

Thank you

With Mitsubishi, you have to be willing to 'join the club' to obtain parts & service from the OEM - I don't know the details of the yearly cost, but if you're considering buying a Mits, you should find out how much it is, and factor it into your decision.

I believe it was a one-time fee of $1500 to register my first used EDM with Mitsubishi, that was 10yrs ago. No further charges for the next 7 machines I registered since..

Their support is exceptional and would recommend their machines just for this reason.

I think we changed our minds now going for the 2400. Is there any options one needs to get ?

I was at IMTS this week and checked out Mits wires for the first time, pretty impressive machines. They had an MV4800s burning a 32in. tall part and another guy running .0008 wire on an MX600 submerged in oil.

If you have long burns the 20kg unit is helpful.

What sort of tolerance could one expect with a 1200S?

Depends on the setup, program, and machine maintenance...sub 2 tenths is easily achieved

Awesome, thanks!
