I know I have to add a little more to the pot to make it happen, but $5000 is it tops. Looks like I am stuck learning how to think in C axis (what can I, or can't I do?). Now what comes up is that I saw this Emco Maier 465, looks impressive, but what is getting parts or data for that like? OTOH is it made in such a way that a 20 year old machine will be working good and maintaining .001" tol or better? Or I Just go with the Haas knowing there is an HFO that probably still has all the parts I need. I'm thinking TL-15. Maybe there is something out there that will fit my needs and I don't even know the brand name? Up to now I have been working in the garage manually making stuff, I want to leap into the next stage, be able to take on work ( 40% of the time) besides just make my own product ( 60% of teh time). Ideas suggestions I want to hear them.
