Guy's,
My shop is a decent size four CNC Mills Six CNC lathes and all the manual support equipment we need to get the job done. QC has a B&S CMM and an optical comparator, pretty much everything we need to check our work. We hold fine finishes and close tolerances all day every day.
I brought in a major new customer last year and nearly doubled sales. With this new customer came new materials for us and new processes. I am considering bringing in a Cylindrical grinder and have found a Jones and Shipman Format 700 machine that would fit my needs. It's a smaller size machine and could handle everything Ive sent out to this point.
I don't know much about the machine or the process we are a milling and turning shop so this would be new for us.
Ive only seen a few pictures and they look good and clean. The machine has either a Fanuc or Mitsubishi control. It has two O.D. wheels and on the other side it has one I.D. wheel.
If anyone can tell me about their experiences with this model and give me some tips about what to look for I would appreciate it.
I am going to look at the machine today.
Thanks
