Thanks Endmill,
Is there anything specific that you like or dislike? Here are a few questions I'd ask a long time user. How is the repeatability compared to when you first got the machines? If you required service, were they responsive and thorough? Have you had repetitive problems with the machines (the same problem more than once)? How do your operators, programmer, and setup people feel about the machines? Do you shy away from machining difficult materials on the machines, if so, why? I could go on, but I don't want you to think this is a test... It will be a while before we start our quest for a new lathe so we can ponder on these questions for a while.
Thanks again Endmill.
