Hello,
I need to add another 40" machine to my shop. I am looking at a 2001 SV-503B/40 with the MSG 501 control on it. I do a fair bit of 3d work, so I am curious about speed versus smoothness on a machine this age. I see that it has tape mode so drip feeding is available. I don't need to run 400 IPM or anything around corners. It has the conversational control, which I do not need as everything I do is programmed offline. I just need a decent amount of smoothness thru motion at say 80 IPM or so. I have an old SL mori lathe that I dearly love, and is the only Mori I have ever had. Any info on the quality of this model I would be grateful for!

thanks
