I've eyeballed a 2013 Mazak VCN510C-II listed on eBay; incredibly clean, fresh looking unit with about 1500 hours on it as well as a 2016 Okuma Genos M560-V that looks every bit as clean and well kept, hours unknown. Both machines are currently listed at $86K and $89k respectively. Does anyone have a "ballpark" figure on what each of these joints could be purchased for NEW; both minimally optioned, for arguments sake? Would there be a significant difference in initial investment between them?
Yes, I realize the Mazak does not have the new SMOOTH-G control on it (OMG, the disgusting things I'd be willing to do in order to posses ANY Mazak VMC with that conrol on it) but, it's at least a Matrix Nexus. The Okuma OSP-P300M, what little I've been able to learn of it, is frankly...disappointing. Research into the iron of the two end up a complete draw; to my surprise. The Okuma essentially being "current" version of my old Mazak FJV-250; which was a rigid, and deadly accurate, platform back in the 1990's. The VCN as a C-frame is kinda "yawn" style (from a Mazak man's point of view) but entirely acceptable.
Please let me know if anyone out there has the true skinny on what these two machines actually sell for in the new market. It is my suspicion that I can get the Okuma for MUCH less than I could buy the older Mazak for; based on trends in the "used CNC market" for the past decade. Am I actually bitching about the crazy resell value of a Mazak?
Damn, I guess I am, having re-read this post.
