I'm looking into adding a CNC lathe into my small shop. I do mostly prototyping and occasional very small lot (<20 pieces) production, about equally in aluminum and 300 series stainless. Right now I have to sub out all my lathe work, which is expensive and annoying. 6x10" capacity would cover 98% of my parts.
The big catch is that space is at an absolute premium here, so I'm trying to find the best compromise for minimum floor space.
So far, I've found the Okuma Genos L250, Takisawa's TCC-2100, and maybe the Mazak Primos. Any thoughts on these machines? Any other options I should be considering? Thanks!
