Currently 95% cylindrical parts, profiles, radius’ etc until I take on work. Basically everything an optical comparator does, but with the benefit of being linked to a pc by default, which is perfect for my workflow.

What sort of tolerances?
We have a load of Keyence equipment at work, and it’s ok, just not amazing.
Some things it does wicked, but others it just hasn’t the capability to see down to microns.
It’s crap at doing rads, but again, the stuff I’m measuring is like R0.5 and 0.003 max tolerance on diameters.
I think Mitutoyo should be a bit better. They’re ace at after care/support, and also have training shops which you can book in to.

Its for reverse engineering so even at 0.01+- It would be fine as some non critical features are up to my own interpretation, but 0.005 would be ideal.
This is the spec of the model I'm looking at.

I think they should have a faster 20 taper spindle tbf

I agree, should be a min of 10k rpm
They may have got an enquiry from me had the spindle been faster

Ahh do I or don't I?!
Great price, but I'd need to have a big move around in my workshop to make it fit

@Andy_con No idea what this is but could be fun with some modifications.

the xy movement is even less than my current cnc and my current cnc doesnt have a lot of movement.

Been stripping down and putting back together bits inside of a Fives Landis LT2e over the past few days at work.
Been interesting to see how they work mechanically.
The Scale/Encoder on the Z Axis needed replacing so was a bit of a task getting to it

The picture didnt show until I quoted.
Looks like a cool little mill! Do you program it via the controller or offline?

Check out Vision Engineering too, they are in the UK and sometimes their kit goes for cheap on ebay because its not such a well known company. Their stuff is supposed to be very good and they aren't based a million miles away from you.

When time allows I want to upgrade the spindle motor and mod the atc. I'm pretty sure I can get it to hold more tools

I'm selling the machines, clio for parts and giving up the unit. Its just too far and not insulated, seeing the machines sweat and rust is miserable when I worked hard to clean them up to begin with
. I'm doing what I can at home for now, I just bought a 220cm oak desk so I can comfortably lay out parts for reverse engineering and hopefully have a vmm on the end.
