Never saw these before.

I did say they’re pricey but the other fellas beat me to it.
There top quality stuff.

A CNC machine is not a CNC machine nor is a lathe a lathe. In addition, nether is a worker a worker or a machinist a machinist. Not here, not over there, not anywhere.

While you can get a good quality item from China, not all companies spec that quality from them. If you don’t spec it and check it, your probably screwing yourself and allowing crap into the customers hands.

A great product can be found here in the U.S.A., but you need to pay the man his days wage and that’s not cheap nor is getting the material needed for the job.

I had to reply to this...
I'm going to show my age here.
I worked in the Aero-space ind in So Cal in the 60's an 70's.
I worked at a place with a then state of the art machine shop. They had N/C (numerical control) machines of all types and size's.
The quality of the Programming had to be high. Not everyone could do it right.
Same with operators and machinist's. They are not all equal.

CNC grew out of N/C.
They had huge dedicated solid state controls.
G.E. was the leader for a long time.
Japanese took over the ind and CNC took over from N/C.
I always wondered what happened to all those old machines. Did they get new PC controls???
