    Question Need to Purchase New Machine b4 end of year!

    I NEED TO TURN AROUND THE 40" DIA.!!!! BUT ALSO NEEDS TO BE
    HTZL AND NOT A VTL

    I have already a Daewoo/Doosan PUMA700 for past 7 years now. Had great success with it. I can turn 35" DIA with this frame. Also I do long shaft work. I have 60" between centers, but I can swallow up to 6.5"dia stock. I actually
    do quite a bit of shaft work, and large gear work so this is my reasoning to stick with a horizontal lathe, and not a vtl.

    Is anyone aware?? Doosan rep. told me that my frame is that largest that they offer. Is there another that can offer me say a 32-36" chuck with
    say 40-42" swing so that I can push it?

    Any advice would help me a great deal.

    Do you intend to use this machine for shafts as well? If not, have you considered a "T" lathe? Or a fairly large gap bed lathe?

    YES. I do intend to use the machine for shafts. 120" long shafts etc.

    I also need to turn 40" diameter parts give or take a couple inches. Does MAZAK offer anything to anyone's knowledge?
