I'm looking at an OmniTurn GT-75 to add to a currently almost-all-manual small shop, to be used for short-run production. (50 to 200 parts per run.)
It's a Series II but has a Gen4 control, about 500 hours. (On the machine or the new control, I don't know.) Machine looks clean, but is on the opposite coast so a personal inspection is impossible. Coming from a machinery dealer.
I've been looking at it as almost all of my parts are small enough for 5C or small pot chuck, the weight and footprint fit my small, cramped shop, and as I don't have proper 3-phase, I like that it can natively take single phase.
I put a WTB in the wanted section here, with no offers. (Well, except for a scammer. ) Is it that nobody has OmniTurns, or that no one with an Omni wants to sell it?
From what I've read they seem well-regarded, and should be able to do everything I need it to do (1" and under aluminum, max of 4-5 tools, etc.) Is there anything I should know beforehand, or to look out for on a used example?
