I am the assistant manager of the machine shop at my local makerspace and we finally have the budget for an inexpensive ($3000) CNC lathe. I know that those can be terrifying words, but I’ve already been looking for a while and have seen some pretty good deals pass us by. But I just found an appetizing ‘95 Kia SKT 15 for $2500. The only problem is that I know absolutely nothing about Kia CNCs, and was hoping that someone who does could give me their opinions on them. It’s spent its whole life turning plastic and supposedly has been properly maintained. The pictures show a Mitsubishi controller, but everything I’ve seen online says it should be Fanuc...not sure about the drives. It’s not being sold with a chuck but has a collet closer and some tool holders, and does not have any active alarms. I’d appreciate any input on these in general or specific things to check if I go look at it. Thanks!
