Hey,
I know this kind of thread usually gets out of control but I thought I'd ask anyway. We are looking at either a Haas ST20Y or a Doosan Lynx 2100LSYB. We already have a UMC750 and also another lathe (YCM) that runs a Fanuc controller so we're familiar with both.
The lathe will basically be used exclusively for making titanium bolts from M4 up to M10, we will be milling a torx head into them. We are the rolling threads, the prerolled diameter is the most critical turning tolerance on the parts at +/- 0.01mm. Quantities for some of the sizes are around 500.
The quotes have come back reasonably close (within about $5k NZ), one thing the Doosan has going for it is 10k live tooling option which I'm just waiting for a price on the moment.
The support we've had for the UMC has been excellent so far, we haven't really had any dealings with the Doosan agent yet.
Is there any reason not to go for the ST-20?
