As the title says I am going to look at a Shizuoka used mill. The person selling it dosent know anything about it. (Was her husbands). She thinks it's a cnc but I can't tell from the bad photos provided. I have been looking to buy a used cnc knee mill for a while. I would like to get a machine that can also be ran manually as well. If any of you could give me any info as to what I am looking at in the photos it would really help. I am going to look at it tomorrow and it's about a 3 hour drive each way so its very likely could be a wasted trip. But the price makes me want to chance it. My first question is if the machine can be ran manually and if the cnc system is obsolete. As well as any info on the machine itself. Were they good mills? Are they're common issues to look for when inspecting it? The location of the machine does not have 3 phase power so I will not be able to test it. Also this would be my first cnc machine and will be learning on it. So I would like to know if this would be a decent place to start. That's the other reason I would like it to be able to run manually so I could work on it as I learn to program it also.
Thanks
