Thread: The new cnc lathe has arrived.

Hi Darren,

I'm guessing that about now you are wishing you had spent the extra $70k and gone for the Okuma?

When i was machine shopping Victor was not even on my list of considerations. Rule #1 is never believe the salesman. Rule #2 - Always do your homework. There are some good taiwanese machines out there now, but there is some pretty average stuff too. If you are going for twin spindle or big machines and high accuracy, the commodity grade machines are going to fall short of expectations. Kind of like comparing a vortex or konus scope with a nightforce or s&b.

Hope you can get the issues sorted out by the dealer, you shouldnt be having to diagnose stuff yourself. After all, you're not far from auckland now and they should have a tech down there for you pronto. Good luck with it.

Regards, Dean.
