hey kirby
yeah, i could bet that you received a good deal
if i may, about the "worn & polishing", would you develop a bit ? how do you know that there is wear, what kind, etc ? if hand polishing requires too much time, and if part has acceptable dimensions, i guess you know about the polishing instalations, that can polish several parts per run
even more, without contact between those parts ?
getting a part out of a cnc with high-surface-quality requires a nice cnc, and once the cnc can no longer deliver such parts, it may still be good for common parts
you may be talking about a "top-tier-cnc-wear", and it may be justified to keep the cnc in that state, and use a polishing instalation
before Xmass, last year, ( i did not give you my heart, but ) i got errors on lathes; i was not the 1st customer to complain about such errors, okuma guys were aware about it, but not about the solution; now it works
there is nothing about this on the forum, simply because i did not had time to wait
cncs are getting more and more complex, know-how is in Japan, and infos inside manuals is not updated as frequent; a forum can not handle things that do not occure frequently
your 1st post was in 2015 ... maybe is ok for you to delay this for almost 3yrs ?!?!... hmm, it may be possible that the guy that will give you a right answer on this forum is not born at this moment
but wait ... maybe he will reply in 3 ... 2 ...1...
who knows, maybe you still have 1000 more cncs, and it really does not matter ± v4020
kindly
