Hi I am looking for a new machine to make round piston-like parts with very good concentricity(.0001") over 3 inches. Looking for a smaller prototype-like machine. I worked at a company where we had a hardinge t42 tuned up to make the parts good, and we bought a new mazak integrix with dual spindle to grab it on both sides which was super nice but not required for me. I am starting my own company and need to buy a machine to build these parts for a prototype. Heavy into CAD/CAM, I mention that as the controller is not that big of a deal to me as I will do everything I can via CAD/CAM and just push a botton at the machine. My budget is $25-35K so obviously I am looking used. Basically want a super rigid, small footprint lathe for small quantities but full cnc. I would prefer not to go older than 2003 or so. thank you for your advice in advance, this forum has been so helpful.
