Mori NZ-2000 Turret Tooling

[Charlie Pierson]

Our company has just ordered a new NZ-2000-T3Y2 multi-tasker and I need to tool it up.

 

Would you please share your recommendations and advice as to which companies make rotary and/or static tooling (MD Tooling etc)? We are also interested in quick change adaptations,such as Capto.

We run Capto across the board in our lathes and it works very slick; it is, however, quite expensive. If you have strong documentation and tell the guy in front of the machine which tool to use where, Capto is very well worth the investment in my opinion; if the guys in the shop are going to do their own thing save yourself the money and buy stick tools.

 

Our live tools currently are Exsys / Eppinger ER32 units and have stood us in good stead; that being said I just ordered [2] Okuma LB3000EX-MY machines with MD Capto live tools because I saw some at another company and they looked like quality stuff.

 

I gotta say that I am always surprised to hear that companies in our neck of the woods buy Moris instead of Nakamura or Okuma; Tyler Machine is very underwhelming in my experience. I wish you the best of luck.
