Post for Mazak

[heavychevy2155]

Thads got the Nexus 410A, thats just a c-frame design. Still light years ahead of my mill.

I have ran both for years,no fadal can touch a Mazak. I take a old H400 over any fadal, plus I have ran and programmed upto the Nexus.

I've used both Fadals and Mazak's. Mazaks rule!I know some of the jobs I use mastercam to program for these Fadals if it was a Mazak I'd have it programed at the machine a lot faster and just setup on a Mazak is faster especially with tool touch probe and spindle probe and about 4 times faster. The graffics are actually useable, to me fadals graffics are useless and speed and feed control is a bit prehistoric on Fadal's 2 control Knobs that when you adjust you have to caculate what it's running where on a Mazak it has Buttons and tells you what you've changed it to. I may have to program and operate Fadals but I don't have to like it.

Yeah well a split is the best, I owned 10 when I was growing up. 53 that was rotted out to 72 that was a stuperbettle. My favorite to drive was a 67 Type 2 or Kombi bus. It had straight axles, 1835 cc with Dual Carbs, and was lowered to where the front bumper was about 4" off the ground. I could cruise at 90 to 100 mph in that thing and it cornered like it was on rails. Good Times.

Some of the smaller Mazaks are pretty wimpy, although they seem to be more accurate.

 

H400? That's a mid size horizontal, not even in the same class , or price range.
