Yup, I had the local dealer for AccuRite out to show me their
system.
The CPNC was VERY impressive, I was very excited, until I heard
their price.
That's not bad for commercial stuff. I was dazzled by a demo, until I
threw a real-world example at them. Machine a rectangular O-ring
groove
.140 wide with a .125 end mill and cleanup passes on both sides.
Took the two sales guys over half an hour!
Newall was next, sales guy said "no problem" and had it done in 5
minutes, including a blow-by-blow description of what he was doing.
My guess is the Newall guy WAS either a machinist or machine programmer,
while the
AcuRite guys (Two of them, no less!) were salesmen with little real
understanding of what
they were doing.
