I've decided on a QT20 for my first cnc lathe. What can I expect to reasonably pay for a good condition machine from the late to mid 90's? How much is a tailstock worth? Are there any features that are a must have?
I don't have any work lined up for the machine so I can't say here's the exact parts it will cut, but Mazatrol seems well regarded as user friendly and that makes it seem optimal for a short run or job shop environment.
Are there any pitfalls to avoid in this era of machine?
For example, how does this machine stack up? 1998 Mazak Quick Turn 20 | eBay
Thanks, Cole
