Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC recommendation request

Hi Nick:
I have a Haas Minimill.
I LOVE it!!!
It's a great machine.
I was far less impressed with the toolroom mill.
It's not as rigid, and the handwheels are a nuisance.
The enclosure on the minimill sure is nice to contain chips and coolant too.
It was worth every penny to me...I've never seen a better value in a new
machine.
Cheers

Marcus
