Mold-Die 3 axis machines

We are looking at purchasing another 3 axis mill. I have kind of narrowed my choices to Okuma Genos 560, Makino F8, or DMG-Mori NVX 7000. Does anyone have experience with any of these that you would be able to talk to me about? Either pro or con.

We have had a night shift for years and have worked with the policy that all new hires have to s...

Re: Large Core Needed

Hi Andy.
