I am looking for some advise on choosing a turning center for my company.We have two machine distributors in our area that we have dealt with for years and are happy with the service they provide.The two machines in question are a Daewoo 1500SY and a MazakQT Nexus 200MSY.I have seen both machines and spoken to the operators and owners,all seem to be satisfied. I personally like the control on the Mazak but am uncertain about the rigidity of the linear way construction.We mostly cut tool steel for the punch and die industry. We currently own a Daewoo 4020 machining center and have had no problems.Any advise on box vs linear , Mazatrol vs Fanuc , reliability , rigidity , cut quality , etc. wuold be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Dan
