Re: GOLmatic MD23

I picked up some brochures and a price list from the Wembley Model
engineering exhibition recently. Brochure price for the MD 23K (470mm
table length) is £3,194.00. MD 23L (570mm table length) is
£3,888.00.
(ex vat).
They also do the GOLmatic MD 24 which is similar to the above, the
only difference appears to be an inverter driven spindle. MD 24-L
(570mm table ) £6,937.00. MD-24 EL (720mm table) £7,430.00.
According to the brochure the MD 24 models are available with ball
screws for about £1,100.00 extra.
They had a CNC version on display at the exhibition, I didn't like
the control because it couldn't (apparently) run an externally
generated (CadCam) program, and looked clumsy to use.
the machines looked to be of a very good build quality, with a lot of
available accessories.
