I have an Emco E-200 lathe, a combination of CNC and normal lathe, like in cnc controls and conversational cycles (with a simulation in2D) combined with the normal 4 type toolholder from the old lathes (PARAT device). I want to start machining prototypes: pieces of small diameters with tolarances of 0.02 on diameter and lenght, hard materials, 35 to 60 HRC, the entire lot ranging between 1 and 6 pieces. My question is: is it profitable or I'll just loose the same amount of time like on a normal lathe?
