Hi All,
I was hoping to get some good advice from seasoned cnc veterans on what to watch out for on buying an entry level cnc turning center.
I am leaning towards a Mazak QT15N of approximately 1990 vintage with the Mazatrol T-2 control.Why? Because I like the idea of conversational programing,this machine's size fit's in with what I am accustomed to(bar work up to 2"and small castings),Mazak's seem to have a very good reputation and have parts/service availability,and machines in that era seem affordable to me.So,would this be a good choice?
Also,what would be the differences between the CAM T-2,and say the T-32 ??
I don't want to get anything too outdated or difficult to learn.I have some basic programming experience on an old Bandit(don't laugh) vertical mill.
I want to try and have some background knowledge so I don't BS'd by any dealers.
Thanks for your time and help.
