Opinons Needed

[ducati]

Looking for some current information on OKUMA LB 300X. Likes, dislikes, disadvantages for doing shaft work with keys and some Y axis work on a irregular basis. Trying to compare it to a MAZAK intergrex and then a Mori Seki with the Y axis.

 

Thanks

Might want to consider a Nakamura WT

What is an Okuma LB300X? Is that like an Okuma LB300M-Y?

 

I've been experimenting with one lately. Very nice machines. Ok for light milling.

 

I'm a big fan of the Okuma lathes, especially the Okuma controls. They are very powerful, and nice to use.

Hi Ducati,

 

Are you looking at a new machine or second Hand?

 

Do you need a sub spindle?

 

I think the model you are looking at will be LB300MY or LB300MYW W is for Sub spindle.

 

Great machines you won't go wrong with one of these babies

Oh but to answer your question OKUMA all the way!

No need for the second spindle. New machine.

I have been told the controls are more user friendly than Mazaks new stuff. Any experience comparing the new OKumas vs mazak or Mori on the programming of the controls at the controls.

Of course the offline programing will be done with MC 2
