Atlas2000 Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Used to work at a place that had a larger version of this. Had the old core memory and was a constant battle to keep running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fazzman Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Thats an NC controller not CNC. Similar but different the old machines are still good just not very fast. their claim to fame thou is they were built like tanks and very stable. Nowadays with todays machining tech its all about speed,material removal,and how much you can get done per operation. I know a place that has some of these Kearney and Trecker machines,and they are fairly large. I like my small parts,big stuff is a pain. Id take my Haas VF2 and VF3 SS mills over the big stuff anyday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
