I am looking at getting a new VMC. I already have a couple of Fadal 4020's and am considering other brands of about the same size. I have gathered all the specifications I can from the web and want to avoid calling a salesman until I have decided on a brand. The one thing that is not really clear is the warranty on some brands. I want to know how confident the manufacturers are about their products and the only way to determine that is by their warranty. If you know what the typical warranty for the following brands are can you please tell me?

Haas
Mazak
Mori Seiki
Hurco
Hardinge
Doosan
Makino
DMG

If I have missed one that I should consider feel free to include it.

Hi There;

In most cases Machine Manufacture have a 1 year warranty, parts and service on their machines. The control side on some machine is sometime cover for 2 years from the company that makes the control.
Most of the machines that you mention have the 1 year warranty on the machine side.
You can go to the web sites of the machines manufacture and see their warranty coverage without going through a sales person.

I know that Hyundai-Kia isn't on your list, but They may still have the 3 year full warranty promotion on.

Not sure on warranty but in quality go with a Makino or a Mori.

If you are throwing HAAS into the ring, then I would check out Milltronics. They are offering a two year warranty. I bought one last year, I did have some issues with the TSC, but the service has been good.
