Apropos of the omniturn Q's, I wonder what the cheapest Y axis/live
tooling
lathe would, run both new and used.
A new Omni 75 runs about $32K, plus $3K for a C axis, + ___ for their
zip
bar feeder.

I wonder, tho, why omni offers a C axis, but no live tooling? What can
you
do with a C axis and no live tooling? Does omni figger you'll add yer
own
air-powered tools or sumpn?

No live tooling but a nice machine:

Great machine if it's been kept up and right in your backyard:

Yeah, all nice, but none have a Y axis, afaict. The last one also has a bar
feed!

But, the prices are low enough that mebbe a Y axis machine is within
reach....

Who would service these machines, if they needed it? And I'm sure they
will.

These are heavy muthafuckas!! One weights 16,000 lbs!!! Holy shit....
The Omni 75 weighs 1500 # !!


What is a "Y" axis machine? Subspindle?
