The riggers just left after putting my Mazak M4 CNC lathe in the new shop. Its an 8000 lb. 20 hp. machine, about 16" by 72" size, with a Camsoft retrofit CNC control.
The electricians are due tommorrow to install a 200 amp sub panel in the shop.
Its taking a very looong time, but the new shop is coming together.

In case anyone is missing the top of this thread, this post is from two years ago.
I bought this machine with a Camsoft control. The retrofit job had been so poorly done that I re-did the whole job. I could see this coming in. I bought the machine, Camsoft hardware, and software for just the cost of the software alone. The poor bloke that hired a rascal to retrofit this fine machine got screwed.
If you retrofit an M4, the dual turret and the sixteen speed transmission are a stone bitch to get the logic and all the I/O right. I'd be glad to give you my CBK and help out. If you're not experienced with retrofit work, this is the wrong place to start.
Machine is up and running. I have sence retrofitted a mill with Camsoft and plan to do a Hardinge CHNC lathe this winter.
