    Is HAAS discounting their turning centers?

    I'm looking to buy either a new or used SL-20. Is HAAS offering any incentives to purchase a new machine from them? THere are plenty of used machines for decent prices.
    I also have to sell one of my VF-2's to make the purchase and unfortunately I can't get what I really think it's worth. The used market is pretty competetive.
    Does anyone here have advice or know who is offering good deals on a new or used SL-20? I'm located in the Bay area, Northern California. Your input would be greatly appreciated.

    The SL20 is an outstanding Lathe. I used one recently cutting 60Rc stainless and high carbon steel.

    Oh and if you plan to do Hard Turning, use Greenleaf WG300 Ceramic Inserts and use coolant to prevent fires, LOL.
