@EthanElohim Index Gmbh designed and build Her turnlathes with toolswitch of 1 sec on machines of serie B,C30+. The actual strength of the machine is assured by the thickness of the single parts, by the quality of seasoned cast iron and steel, by the excellent mechanical parts, especially about spindle, by the whole-oil bath lubrication.

B60 takes 1 second to index it's the same as the B42 only the 60 has a bigger 2-3/8" (with outside feeding attachment) spindle. They are just a pain in the ass to work on and slower than molases compared to a B&S. The machine is solidly built don't get me wrong it just works and holds great size once running. They are just a pain in the ass to set up. Plus you can't use B&S cams or tooling on them. Everything is special, and if you need a repair part it's 6 months lead time for it.

well, if you think that's quick, have you ever seen a CVA? toolswitch in 0.2 seconds! (b60 take about 1,5-2 secs, am i right?) you can barely see the switch, all off a sudden it's just the next tool.. insane. and its pure mechanics, just like these.
