Hello all, I am looking to purchase a CNC Lathe with 2 spindles and 2 turrets, with a max turning capacity of about 12". Currently we are looking at the Okuma, Mazak, and Mori Seiki.
Do you guys have any suggestions of any other higher end good machines that I should be looking at?
I appreciate any and all help. Thanks.

Let me start by saying I'm a huge Mori guy. Now, that being said, buy the Okuma. The Mori is good, I just think Okuma may have a leg up as far as programming etc on the twin turret machines. And they did it first. 1st 4 axis Okuma I ran was built in 1979. They had LSN's before that. The Mazaks are very light duty. The new Mazak lathe we have, a quite large one, has smaller ballscrews and guides than out entry level 20X40 Mori mills.
