New Mazak Horizontal / post???

[daryl_y]

My company just placed an order for a Mazak Nexus 6800-II Horizontal, travel is x 41.3"/35.43”/ 38.58”

with a 10k spindle. Although I was not involved in the decision I looks like a awesome machine. Our shop has another horizontal a Large Femco (fanuc controller), that is a big piece of crap by the way. So I am thinking that there is little I will have to do to that post to convert it for use on the Mazak other than change the max spindle speed and feedrates but I am just wanting to make sure.

There will be a couple other things, but nothing major.

 

BTW one very nice machine you will be very happy with it.
