Has any one else had or know anyone who has had problems with
Cincinnati-Milacron Vertical Machining Center?  If so please e-mail or
post responses.  We are specifically looking for problems with
underpowered servos and tracking error.

Thanks,

For some reason, I am unable to find Mr. Dye's original article via
Netcom (I also checked in sci.engr.manufacturing, as Mr. Dye posts to
that newsgroup as well).  Would someone please re-post the original
article?  We've been considering purchase of a Cinncinati-Milicron VMC
(an Arrow 500) and would be interested in any first-hand information
relative to that machine's performance and/or reliability.  Actually,
it doesn't have to be first-hand information, we'll even listen to
rumors.

Thanks, and regards to all,
Dale

	--Well I haven't got one of those, but my CNC had similar 
problems until it was determined that the way lube was too gummy down at 
the bottom of the sump. Cleaned it out and switched to a lighter grade 
and the problems went away...
