I've had an NHX5000 2nd gen for just over 2 yrs now and it's been awesome. 5 pallett RPP, 240 tools and high torque 15k spindle. Some people think the NHX series is inferior to the NH-DCG machines but that's definitely not the case with the Gen2... Not sure if you're aware, but the Gen3 machines have just been announced. Seems like they are the same as Gen2 but with Fanuc 31i instead of Mitsubishi M730 as the base control. Also, the RPP is now available with up to 21 pallets... Oh, and CELOS might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's awesome on a production machine. Clear and simple management of program files, tools and pallets. https://en.dmgmori.com/resource/blob/44886/18c425f92e4073eb0792687790ec0890/pm0en-nhx4000-5000-3rd-pdf-data.pdf https://en.dmgmori.com/products/automation/pallet-handling/rpp

Doesn't get any better than that.

I got lucky and run my 5960X stable at 4.875

Extended Y axis? how many tools?

Esprit.

I do WAY more milling than turning in my NTX2000, including quite a few parts that have no turning at all. I even have a fixture that mounts a 6" double station vise in there. Almost 2 years in and no problems at all so far.

I've had an NTX2000 for about 8 months and it has been flawless so far. Support from Mori and Esprit has been outstanding. The post might be locked, but it works.... There have been a couple of times where I thought a post edit would be nice, but each time I have been shown a way to get the code I want without needing a post edit. PM me if you have any questions.
