Both of these seem very reminscent of the harrison we
have at work. More so the turnmaster.

You should be aware that both of these machines are
'gap bed' which makes them more versatile for turning
short, oversized items. If you don't need that feature,
you would be paying extra for something you don't need.

Also, the mazak has a bed turret, again an item that
will inflate the price, and if you don't really envision
a need for it, is best avoided for that reason. Not
that bed turrents aren't very handy things of course,
DoN.
