If/when we pick up a mill-turn, it's going to be difficult to steer us away from the NTX. Mazak dominate in the bigger shops that buy new machines frequently, but I don't want to deal with them for reasons already explained.We're a very satisfied DMG Mori shop, but our machines are squarely from the Mori side (NLX, NHX), as is the case with most USA shops.
DMG were here in person two days after first contact.ĭMG (as in DMG - there are plenty of Mori's around) and Okuma both are pretty thin on the ground in Scotland. Okuma were very responsive to us during previous enquiries but their local representative has changed since then and I'm not really getting the same sense of urgency from the new guy. Okuma are on the other side of the planet, and are represented by a single dealership with an unknown service force. That's a lot of manpower for a country this size. DMG have an overnight parts service from Germany to the UK, and somewhere between 100-200 (I forget the exact number) service guys on staff in the UK. My biggest fear is based in the fact that we are in a very different place geographically from all of you. I knew going in that the overwhelming majority would be in favour of Okuma.
