A place I worked at had some trouble with the SL20. Brand new machine. A few inches from the chuck the turret jumps about .001" which leaves a line. Also when they got it, it took a while to figure out what was going on with the toolsetter. Tools were off all over the place. I think the whole thing had to be recalibrated. I don't know exactly as I didn't run cnc's.
The haas mill also had some troubles. Z-axis top limit switch died so it thought home was somewhere below the table.
I wouldn't feel very confident buying one myself. If you deal with tight deadlines and you can't afford to have a machine down. Mazak or something like that would be better I think. More money but less worries. |
