Mazak lathe vs Daewoo

[Steelydan]

We would be looking at the MX style machine. I can tell you from experince that the 40 tools is a must!!! We have standard tools set in our integrex machines on average we have two tools per job to change out verses 10-20. If your company is looking to save money having set standard's will definatly get you on your way.

You guys probably have now idea that you have been speaking with a SuperStar of the maching world. (Steely) He learned under the self proclaimed worlds greatest machinist and I swear today I saw him walk across a puddle in the parking lot without getting the bottom of his shoes wet!


You don't believe me check out his mug in theis modern machinst link....he's a straight up pimp! LMAO!

Let us know about the how it goes on the multy,

Bad dog-

The machine price was $120,000 out the door with live tooling, and a few bell's and whistles. After adding some additional options like collet chucks, High pressure coolant, bar feed interface, Transformer, Conveyor, and a few others, we ended up at $139,000
We got a two year full warranty with the machine. What did you pay?

Not a 240MSB, but I just got a price on a 240MB (live tools no sub spindle) for $123k, this has SWM spacesaver short bar feed, S26 collet chuck, and conveyor. I'm also looking at a similarly equipped Mazak 250M for $150k. I feel like the Puma is a nice machine for the $. However, it has a few shortcomings, drag along tailstock and the salesman said the conversational programming is not good at all on the Puma.

Can anybody comment on the quality/readability of the manuals for the Puma?

I have never used a Daewoo with conv. programing so i cant say anything about that but the manuls , well its just like anything else when you have bee looking at then for years they are pretty easy to understand if not may be a bit more dificult im sure the mazak would be the same way

So Randy,
How about dropping some of that superstar daewoo knowledge on us. What software are you using to program? We are looking to switch from mastercam ourselves. Unfortunetly it has been a long drawn out process, if you know what I mean. Slacker at the top.

[rickyt]

Why are you wanting to switch from Mastercam? Is it not producing the code you need or is it hard for you to program with it? X2 is so much easier to program with, and I know that Mastercam is still working on the Multi-Tasking lathe side of things. It is easy for C-Axis programming, you just have to get the post dialed in.
