looking at a Slant turn 35ATC project.
first question what tooling does it use? VD!40 etc.
Parameters available t32-3 control readily
and any other pitfalls common to these machines
Thanks in Advance
 
The machine uses Mazak proprietary VDI 50. Only source I have found is ebay.

Holders look like this. Pic stolen from ebay:

There was 2 different kind of C-axis on these machines.
1deg index or full C-axis
If the machine is a 1deg C-axis it kan only lock C-axis at 360 positions and not mill and turn C-axis at the same time.
If you dont get a lot of static and live tool holders make sure price is really good, it will cost a lot to buy these.
