Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Defiance VTX-1 VMC?

Hi Pizzaface:
I paid $15,000 USD for mine.
That was a good price at the time, but machine prices have come down so much
since then, that I'd be looking for more machine for that amount of money.
My other mill is a Haas Minimill, and it's in a totally different league.
That's the machine to get for entry level production if you're doing metals.
The Defiance is good for electrodes and plastic.
Cheers

Marcus
