Another machine joins the stable...

AdeV:
A mad moment on eBay seems to have netted me a shiny(ish) new(ish) CNC lathe.  :D

As this is me, you can be sure it's not some shy retiring machine.... nope, it's a Mazak Quickslant 20 4-axis 2-turret beast with a 56mm spindle bore, 16 tool positions, 500mm length capacity, 22kw motor, etcetera.... All I need to do is find a 3m x 2m space to put it now... easier said than done....

All for the princely sum of £755, and it'll cost me about another £250 to have it delivered. That's when the fun will begin...

What have I done!?!  :scratch:  :loco: :loco: :zap:

awemawson:
Well done that man  :thumbup:

Join the 'Totally mad, large CNC lathe' sub group  :lol:

mattinker:
Nothing like a good bit of impulse buying!

All the best, Matthew

Joules:
Wonder if I could get one in the spare bedroom  :scratch:

AdeV:
Andrew - Yep, we should definitely have a "big impractical and daft to own machines" sub-club... I may yet need your help commissioning this thing, there's no sign of any documentation (I haven't even seen the machine yet!), and it looks like it's been through a couple of auctions - the pictures were from its previous sale in 2013... so it may be shot, who knows.

Matt - thanks!

Jules - how big is your window?  :lol:
