I'd looked at the Mega Mill by Lagun. Is that a pretty good machine?
Basque country Spain has been working metal, and well, since they were the primo Bronze cannon-makers to the Kings. Earlier-yet, actually. Hannibal & Hasdrubal Barca's time. Good value-for-money in general.
Right now I have a Chevalier and it's not so great. Not sure what OTOH stands for in the comment above but this purchase is stemming from having to send out some work that lead to a 3 day delay in a project. Far as imports go, I didn't think there was anything made in the states anymore.
Better
planning manages mere "3 day" delays more effectively than throwing machinery at them. Whole machine-hall fulla spindles won't help much if the delay is in raw materials, fasteners, or surface-treatment chemistry.
Surely there are still US & Canadian makers. CNC grinder houses. Mills too -also CNC.
It is general-purpose MANUAL machine-tools and grinders as have gone scarce as to new production on the North American Continent. Wells-Index, Oliver of Adrian and a scarce few are still with us.
That said...CNC and "maintenance"? May or may not be a good fit.
As with your query about Blanchard grinding, "we" - the PM community - don't really yet know what it is you DO, to what alloys, in what shapes and sizes, nor to what tolerances, throughput, other time-constraints, or available cost margins.
"Not enough information".
Seems as if you'll have to go and 'sess that out for YOURSELF a great deal better before you even
have enough info of real use to pass-on to PM as more focussed questions, no?
Where seriously mission-critical, company survival & future prosperity is involved?
No matter how good YOU are, were I your next-higher's bean counter/ULM, I'd be running the most experienced grey-haired outside consultant I could hire through the whole of the process right about now for at least a "second opinion". Too close to a forest. Blind to the trees.
Nicest-made and legendary-good Big Name machinery on-planet is
useless if it is wrong for the task you actually HAVE. And the budget to correct that is now "blown".
You MIGHT just need sharper management and more and better support contractors. Machinery is kinda stoopid without decent human help.
