New Fanuc Robodrill or 7000 hour robodrill with all the bells and 4th axis?
I'm doing small part manufacturing on my HAAS TM1 and I'm upgrading to a Robodrill ?-D21LiA5. I got a great deal on a new old stock Robodrill 24k spindle, 3 axis, tool setter, chip conveyor, and 400 block look ahead. I also have the option to buy a used Robodrill with 7000 hours same model year and specs but also has 4th axis, Blum tool setter and probe, mist buster, tooling and, possibly 1000 block look ahead, but no warranty or support. Nearly the same price.
It's cut aluminum in production and is getting swapped out for a DMG Horizontal pallet machine
Which way would you go?
