We are thinking of getting our first Swiss lathe. After pricing new it seems better to go used. However since this is our first one we are going to need some help with it. Setup, service, and maybe help with the first few parts. Is there a company or someone in the midwest that offer Swiss Lathe repair and service?
Absolutely.
i would recommend going to the distributor for whatever machine type you buy for service. typically, they will have the most experience and or resources if it is something they've not got an easy answer for.
