Recommendations for a USED CNC lathe.
I am in the market for a used CNC lathe.
I have a unique set of requirements because of limited single phase power and am limited to about 8000# of forklift capacity in my shop.
<= $10K <=5 HP spindle Turret tool changer, maybe gang => 1 9/16 spindle bore >6'' Z travel <= 8000 lbs Controls don't matter Mechanically OK Controls need not be working Preferably West of the Rockies
If anyone could recommend a specific model I should be looking for or has one sitting in the back of their shop gathering dust, I would be interested. Similar Threads:

Re: Recommendations for a USED CNC lathe.
Yuo could look at Hardinge CHNC III or IV's. These meet nearly all your requirements, if you get them with 16C collets. They tend to have 7.5HP spindle motors, but may have had options for 5 HP. They also tend to be very accurate machines, and are pretty fast.
