Gentlemen,
My garage header is at 81.5", exactly. I need a machine that will fit in under this height, and my preferences are:
Hardinge VMC (don't care as long as the table is at least 30" in X and I have at least 18" in Z)
Yang? (Tiawan Hardinge)
Okuma (e.g. Cadet V4020)
I'm not fond of Haas. I've heard too many stories of these machines wearing out too quickly. Don't want to end up buying a junker. Ironically, Haas is the one machine I *know* will definitely fit under the header with room to spare. Makes me want to cry.
Any other machines you folks know definitively can be dismantled relatively easily to get below the height indicated above?
Torin...
