    Amera-seiki machines?

    Does any one use, or have you used Amerea-seiki lathes? the company I work for is looking at a new lathe with live tolling and the owner is leaning towards a Amera-Seiki machine. The guys that have to use it are just wondering about the quality since none of us has heard of this brand before. thanks for any input.

    Amerea-seiki is very good machine and very realiable, compare these machines to Mori and Okuma. Just make sure where you live have a good service when you need the most.
    The best way to learn is trial error.

    Re: amera seiki DTM 40

    I just purchased a 2008 A-3R Amera-Seiki vertical machining center. Can anyone tell me where to find manuals for it?
    Thanks,
    Drake

    Model and escorts at IMTS!!!!


    Ha, that is the first thing I thought of too when I saw Ameri-Seiki.
    As for the machines, always consider the country of origin when trying to determine how good the machine is.
