    Any Longview/Tyler, Texas IH CNC owners

    I am trying to decide on a cnc mill for our shop. If at all possible I would like to speak with local owners (will drive 200 miles or so) of IH cnc, Smithy CNC and Tormach CNC machines.

    This will be our first cnc machine. We run 3 phase electric.

    The machine we purchase will be used to make small runs of parts out of mild steel, 304 and 316 SS, 41XX series steel and 6061 Al.

    Thanks for any assistance
    Jim

    Talk to Gene who is the new owner of IH. He could probably let you know where different users are and if any are local. Gene owns and Tommy helps run as well which is his son.

    Tormach will supply names of local owners that are willing to show/discuss their mills so you should contact them directly if the Tormach is a serious consideration or try the Tormach section here or the Yahoo Tormach group.

    It sounds like IH offers the same service and I'd guess that Smithy does as well.

    Not when the shop is in a warm, toasty basement
