RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] interesting new midi-sized cnc mill

There has been discussions on this CNC mill on the CNCZone Benchtop mills
forum. www.cnczone.com then Benchtop Mills subsection. A PC is not included
and I think the controller runs a customized version of Mach2. I wish it
had a Automatic Tool Changer rather then the quick change tooling system,
then it might compete with a Haas minimill for home shop use.

I know you guys don't want list time spent on this topic but, I've been
reviewing their site and machine specs.

Considering I've been planning a machine upgrade in the next 6 months and
fretting over the 25 - 40 k price tags.

This machine fits the bill perfectly and warrants full consideration for
anyone, like myself, that is out growing their home built units.

I really would value any input or opinion from this group in regards to this
machine vs. building [again] a larger knee column unit. I don't know that I
could build it for the price of this unit [including knee column mill
purchase of 5 - 7 k] Used units are scarce [I've seen only ONE advert in 7
years of looking in my local papers] in my area [western Canada.]

thoughts?
Owen
