ST-30 problems?????

[roddyf]

Hey guys been looking on here awhile. We are looking to purchase a Machining Center and Turning Center and I was thinking of going with a VF-3 and an ST-30 w/ live tooling. Any problems with the ST-30?? I know this is a new machine, they supposedly did some redesigning. I will mostly be running 4140, 4340 and aluminum. Any input would be appreciated.

I guess there isn't anybody on here that has dealt with the new ST-30. I was curious, we are looking to buy one with live tooling. The HFO rep said that the sl series was going to be phased out by the ST series because of some changes they made to make it more rigid.
