    Need experienced input on buying a new machine.

    We are looking for a Twin spindle lathe with Y axis with 3." bar capacity on the main and the sub also with live tooling.

    This machine will be used for high production runs. We currently have a Kia SKT250MS and we love it, but Kia only offers 2.5" max. bar capacity on the sub.

    I am wondering if anyone out there is using such a machine as we are looking for.

    thanks

    Why? Are you feeding bars from both sides?

    We have a LNS Blaze air Vacum unloader that sucks out the parts thru the sub spindle.
    2.5" diameter 36." long capacity. We make up to 39." pins with keyways and cross holes. We have to be able to swallow the 3." stuff in order to run it.
