Sharp 2412 ????

[FUBAR62172]

I'm in the process of looking for a new machine and was looking at the 2412. Does anybody have any pros or cons? Also what did the pricetag run? Thanks for any info

I think it's a well built machine.

Pros:
Heavy and rigid for its small size.
Box ways help to dampen vibrations.
Low overall height.

Cons:
The Y-axis travel is a small.
Umbrella tool changer is slow.

I have one with 4axis installed, 0i mD, cost around $62k ,
It is a great machine, box way, 10k rpm
and yes, the table is a bit small for 4 axis application, but I never regret buying this machine
