Woah that is some machine shop setup you have going on. Having the ability to expand is amazing when working on stuff. What kind of Swiss you looking at? I worked at a shop that did tight tolerance parts on Ganesh Swiss machines. Seemed pretty rigid and repeatable to me!

I've also for a manual mill and lathe in there as well with plenty of room left to expand. As for the Swiss machines. I've just really started researching the Swiss, ganesh and makino seem to be pretty relaibke and price wise are good for their sizing. but the makino F5 is what I've been leaning towards. --Dan |

We are in the market for a new precision vertical at work...I am all for the makino F5 also. I run Makino EDM equipment at work and love them. The Japanese think a little differently but it's an easy curve. Sent from my iPhone using autocorrect |

damn thats a nice setup... wish i could afford one of them... luckily i have a friend that owns/operates a small machine shop here in town so he builds what we want and sends us a bill .. he just added some stuff to his collection... just bought a manual mill and lathe and is looking at a cnc machine worth $60,000...

It's nice having someone who you can count on to help with machining. I've also got manual setup mill and lathe they come in handy for short run work or touch up work. --Dan Last edited by sickcivic95; 01-30-2013 at 07:11 PM. | ||||

Not much experience with HAAS but i am with MAZAK and Okuma, Please look into Japanese machines!. Okumo is way expensive then Mazak but still. Both are great machines, quick and real easy to work with. Being a machinist is great |
