Default Maybe a good deal? Matsuura CNC mill

Matsuura is Good Stuff.

Couldnt read the date of manufacture. And cant tell what tooling it
uses. 30 or 40 taper, BNC?


Pretty sure that's a BT30 machine.

No CRT on the control puts it in the late 80s or earlier. A guy that really
knows Matsuura can tell you when they switched from blue to the big red
machine. Then they switched back to blue again.

Most all cnc machines after 1981 had CRT's. That control sorta looks
like a Fanuc 5 which was the predecessor to the Fanuc 6 but without the
crt and some functions. The control itself doesn't look very worn
around the knobs but the pictures aren't too clear either.
