Mill Turn Suggestions

[dan m]

We are looking at getting our first mill turn. I have programmed and ran 5 axis (like the mazak Intergrex) and the turret style machines. We do alot of short order work. 1 to 5 pieces. I know the style machine I think we should get but I am looking for more opinions. Along with make of machine. The powers to be are treading lightly on this since I am the only one here with any experience on these machines.

^{What kind of Bar Capacity do you need?}

3 inch would be nice but i can live with 2 1/2

Look at the Nakamura-Tome NTMX , or Mori Seiki NT, the Index R300 is nice as well.

An Okuma Multus would also be one to look at.
