Verdict
These machines serve different jobs. The LYNX 2100G fits high-volume runs of small brass, aluminum and implant parts, where a gang-type tool post shortens tool changes and approaches Swiss-type cycle times. The LYNX 2100 fits job shops with diverse small-part work and frequent changeovers, where a 12-station turret, 36 m/min rapids and 127 Nm of torque cover a wider range of parts.
