Fadal delimma

[pontiac428]

Ohhh no... no no no. I'm going to have a meeting with the committee about your VMC15. While I'd rather have a slightly wider table, the VMC15 is a great machine. I won't have a proper home until next month, but I've got the funds and I'm willing to drive. I loved running Fadals when I was a button-pusher, and the open format makes setup easy. I always imagined a Fadal VMC as my home CNC mill. Let me talk to the missus...

That said, as a potential buyer, I'd be interested in the 5C 4th axis as a side item at $500, but not as much if it were an additional $1000 installed option.

It's here

Got a few spares with it also. Has the 4th axis and they gave me a vise. Now I just need to move it and level it, wire it up and make some chips.

Well I do have still have the 20 inch Fadal in my shop

I had seriously considered buying all 3 but that would have been $15k plus shipping to my place. For just the one machine delivered it was $2500. Just too much to come up with. I know I could have made some good money reselling the 2, but just
couldn't swing it. But I'm happy with what I got. Bigger machine and the 4th axis. I don't have anything right now to put on a 4th, but I now have that capability.
