Re: [SPAM] [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: In-between machines?

Ahhh.... so that was you. I saw this machine (after the auction closed
though), and thought it was the right size/specs for me. Although yours
sounds like a hybrid rather than a full omni-turn.

I did speak with Omniturn about this (their GT-75) -- their dealer in the east
is annoying to deal with, but Omniturn themselves in Oregon were better to
deal with. A new one costs $32K-$35k, but they say that used will run me
~$20K .... whenever they get one, which is not a regular thing.
