| We have an 8030, two 6030s, and a 4020 VMC. We're considering replacing the 4020 with the New Fadal EMC for speed. We machine 90% aluminum, so these machines are fine, but, we are planning to start machining lots of heavy steel weldments and castings that would be best suited for a geared head, cat 50 spindle machine. It depends on your production trend. We need the 80" travel, and I could have used more for some jobs. If your part sizes are always small it's not an issue, but if you forsee long parts in the future, buy big. It's better than picking up points and moving your part down the table.
