Mori Seiki Vs. Doosan

[zedlips]

Mori seems to have a solid dealer base with great support throughout north america, I can't speak of european or asian support. I know here we have service issues with Doosan (Daewoo) support at times. But based just on quality alone the Mori's outshine (imo) both mazak and doosan.

We have a Mori at work and I can tell you it is one durable machine. There was a bit of a learning curve when we got it and I cant even remember how many boring bars I have crashed into the spindle, and it took it like a champ. I have no experience with Doosan so i cant comment on it at all, but I can tell you MS makes a high quality production lathe. In fact, in the last 3 days(24hr. production) the only maintenance I have done to it is add bleach to the coolant to kill the rotten smell.....haha it needed to be replaced like a month ago!

Suggestion:try BLASER.

I'm not a blaser seller, or other.
I'm a lathe machinist.
I worked with a lot of coolants, but blaser is the best one.
Even my employers (blaser cost more than a normal coolant) said that is the best one they used.
Avoid to use bleach in the coolant, you are alive as the bacteria you kill with it...
