Are slant bed machines superior to flat bed machines?
Companies that sell machines with slant beds constantly rave about the improvement in quality compared to flat bed design. Is this school of thought really justified?
I am looking to buy my first CNC lathe and have narrowed it down to a Daewoo Lynx 220 (30deg slant bed) or a Haas SL20 (flat bed) all I keep hearing about from the Daewoo dealer is how superior his machine is because of the slant bed. Does it really matter or is it just sales talk?
My company only machines plastic anyway so will it really make a difference?
