Fryer CNC Milling Centers

[THREEDEE]

Does anyone have any experience with the Fryer CNC Milling Machines? My company is looking specifically at the MB-10R verical and I'm wondering if they are any good. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

i don t know if they've improved over the years , i would imagine they must have if they are still in business . the one i worked with used to drive the z down into the part , fixture or indexer at radom , it was quite scarey

I bought the MB-10 in 2004 after using a friends for a year and liking it. Its fairly small, quite messy as I don't have the enclosed version and has been working very well for me for 4 years now. I also bought an MC-45 and had spindle trouble just after one year due to the bearings getting contaminated with coolant or debris ect. I would recommend the MB-10 for a low production shop as its tool changes are not the quickest 7 or so seconds and the spindle doesn't accell / decell all that fast either. for me it has been GREAT~!! Thanks, hope this helps. David
