New EDM, Any Good?

[Spinner]

Hi
We have been offered an ONA wire machine, now I have only worked with Charmilles, Sodick and Hitachi. Do any of you experts know any reason why we should not enquire about a possible sale of this machine? Or am I correct in thinking they are all the same, bit like a car, all do the same thing but handle differently.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I've never worked on an Ona, but physically they are very big machines...

go according to price...

We had the use of an Ona machine for a few months quite a while back, on first using it it seemed "Ok" but then it developed a fault which none of the engineers was able to cure so we ended up sending it back and had another Hitachi machine (we already had five at the time).We probably just had a "bad apple" Anyway all I would say is give it a go you might find that it's ok.
