    ML lathe ?'s

    I'm currently looking into buying a Milltronics ML22 or ML26 Toolroom Lathe. I would like some feedback from anyone who is or has used one or both of these machines. Pros, Cons, anything

    Thanks

    Ive got an ML22/60. A good machine, extremely rigid. The control is easy to use and has offline programming. The company itself is excellent when it comes to help with programming problems and customer service. I have not needed much in parts, the machine is 3 years old.

    Have had a ML17 for 11 years now and has been a good machine. Only have had to replace belts and the braking resistor for the spindle-nothing major.

    I have had a ML15 for five years. It has been a great little machine. No real major problems. It has been very accurate and repeatability has been really suprising.

    I was in the plant on Thursday, and they use their own machines to make the new ones. That says a lot about what they think of their stuff.
