It looks like the Taig mills have the best bang for the buck. It also looks like they'd run a lot quieter than a typical high-speed induction motor spindle. The price is in my budget and a 4th axis would be useful every now and again.
I'm looking for a mill for PCB's and light aluminum work. That would mean bit sizes from 1 mm up to 1/4" or 3/8" max. I'd like to be able to run coolant but not mist.
The machine would see roughly 4 hrs per week of light production use.
Any downsides to the Taig that I should be aware of? |
