Hey all. We're a small family run job shop. We currently have a proto trak 1745 lathe that's getting older, and I'd like to replace it with something a little more current. Production to us is 20 parts, so I'm not needing anything with a bar feeder or anything of that nature. What I do need is ease of setup and programing. None of us currently know g code, but I don't consider that to be a big problem to learn/ train on. I've contemplated getting another trak lathe, but I'm currently pissed at them for the complete pos lpm machining center that we're currently stuck with.
Thanks,
Sean Rose
