I am looking at a Mazak a local shop has they are not using, I may be able to get a good deal on it. As this will be my first Mazak I was hoping that some out there may have some opinions on the M5N machine. Are the machines user friendly, are they repairable, are parts available, are parts ridiculously expensive, can the machine be serviced, will Mazak still support the machine...etc. Are there specific things to look for that would be make or break points. I think it is a 1994 or maybe a little earlier than that. It does have the tool changer and a secondary tool changer. Any help here would be great, maybe to help give an idea of where I am at skill wise, I run my Fadal with no issues, Haas controls are not an issue for me, and I have run Fanuc controls in the past. I am just looking at replacing the 17x80 Clausing-Mascot I rebuilt with a more modern machine, but a CNC lathe. The lathe has a Mazatrol T32 controller on it.
