G'day all


I've been looking around the used market for a small machining center to expand my home gunsmith business and am currently looking at a Kitamura Mycenter 1 in fairly good condition with a Fanuc O-M control. Circa 1993. I have yet to actually go and see the machine and details of the control and options are a bit sketchy until i can go and check it out.

My full time day job is a CNC machinist and at work we use late model HAAS VF-2's and Solidcam. The HAAS machines work well with the High speed toolpaths (imachining) and i was wondering how an older machine and control like this would cope with the HSM tool paths? I'm not familiar with Fanuc controls, are there options on the O-M control i should look out for?

I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has experience with these Kitamura/Fanuc O-M machines and HSM.

Cheers
