Mori lathe investment?

[angelina]

Hi!

My company is considering to invest in a Mori lathe machine, and I need to urgently come up with a rough figure for what it would cost to buy the machine, standard set of tools to go with it and the cost of setting up and running it, including expected maintenance... Anyone who has done a similar investment analysis who can help?

more details about the machine and what type of work will be ran on it may help. Does it have sub spindle? live toolong? what size chuck(s)? what size material will you be turning (on average)? do you have other lathes currently? if yes, can these machines share tooling? these types of questions help decide those other factors.

We don't currently have any other machines that we can share tooling with. I think what I am looking for is a sort of multitasking machine with live tooling to turn material up to 300 mm diameter and 700 mm long. Maybe the MoriSeiki NT4300....

Hope this is sufficient info for someone to help with a rough investment figure, including setting it up and running it!
