purchase of VMC

We have been trying to handle the production of all milled parts on our Horizontal Machining Centers but, have have decided to add a Vertical Machining Center to our collection to try to handle the smaller quantity production parts. We have just confirmed our purchase of a SHARNOA VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER.
It has a BT50 spindle with a table size of 60" (1500mm) X 40" (1000mm), with a 32 position automatic tool changer. Machine is used but it is in new condition. With accuracy at 0.0003" at 40" of travel checked on a CMM.
I trust that this machine will help us keep the production running on our Horizontals will keeping up with our smaller production runs.
Even within the day we have already added a new job on the Vertical that will need 33.0 hours per month.
Things are looking very busy for the year.
