We've begun installing the new Cincom L20e-IX machines from Citizen.

Even though it has a new lower base price than its predecessor, it boasts now having twenty-seven (27) tool positions as standard including thirteen (13) live tools.

It is also very modular allowing it to be reconfigured to meet the demands of specific parts. For example, you can expand to 15 live tools by just buying two spindles for the independent backworking toolpost or you can add a back slitting spindle as shown in the illustration.
