NEW !! CNC Port/Block Machine !!!!!! Centroid A560 5 Attachment(s) Very Excited , took delivery on new Centroid |
Don't mean to nose in your business, but what does something like that cost? If financed, what kind of financing options do they typically do on machinery? |
A560 starts out around $260k + depending on the amount of fixtures, A560XL ,$290, lease or finance around $4500 a month , for 10 years, I did a lil better than that cause I sold my 5axis Haas VF 3 2 months ago |
Thanks for answering that. How much training comes with these units? Does the manufacturer of cnc equipment typically offer full training for their units? You would think so. |
2 Attachment(s) 5 days training at their facility just on the Master Cam Port Expert , then 4 days training in house at my place on the whole unit , Centroid has been at my place since Saturday morning this week setting it all up |
The training that they do provide.......................Lets assume the new owner had zero cnc experience........is it enough to get you off the ground and running? I assume they will also allow follow up training if requested correct? Sorry for all tjhe stupid questions. I'm just a guy over here dreaming of owning such a manchine someday. |
Yes, you would be able to run it if never had any experience , remember this is different than a normal machine tool , it was specifically built for the automotive machine shop environment , control has a data base built into it , they have already done all the time consuming work that may take years to accomplish with the normal CNC and Cad system ( I tried it for a while with my VF3 Haas ) It is what promt me to go this route |
That machine looks sick I've looked into them an what they're capable of. I used to run a Mazak 900 and KDM VTL making turbine parts. Do you mainly do head work at your shop? |
I'm working on a head porting project at school on a VF with a 5th axis. in mastercam 7... lets just say it's going very slowly. two terms of messing with it here and there I might get it on the machine this next term. |

Very Excited , took delivery on new Centroid thank you |
I believe this machine is for doing machine work on existing blocks and heads, NOT building them from a block of metal. Someone correct me if I am wrong. |

Well then...that's just a badass piece right there... |
YES , and expensive too , Return on Investment is challenging also , I have things working in my favor in that dept. because of our other business's ACE Hardware/ NAPA, we also do considerable amount of Drive line work |
Mind boggling numbers, but modern machinery is so damn impressive !! |
price on the machine
