I am looking to purchase a used CNC flat bed lathe within the next few weeks. My only real requirements are that it has a 4" spindlebore, a 20hp or smaller spindle motor, and 50"+ of travel.

Have been looking around and it looks like my 3 main choices are the Summit Smartcut, Haas TL3B, or a Romi (various models). I don't have any prejudice against any of them, but the Haas TL's seem to be way overpriced on the used market. I'm looking for some general suggestions on these or other makes that are readily available. Trying to keep it under $30k Thank you!

Let us know how it works out..
But the requirement are high for 30k, imho.

I would expect anything like that at 50k€ ++...
If it is anything worthwhile, works now, from an in-business company.

100 mm spindle pass-through and 50" of travel is a really big cnc lathe .. unusual and expensive, mostly.
