Intermittent problems are nearly always hard to find. Any 5 year old machine is becoming aged, but no where near the end of it life unless the parts are no longer available.
We have 7 Milltronics milling machines I am responsible for the repairs on along with 5 Bridgeport DX-32 VMC's. All are getting near 12 years old. Very few electronics problems with the Milltronics compared to the Bridgeports.
Any time I have had to call Milltronics Tech's for support, they have been very helpful in every aspect.
I don't think the comparison between Matsuura and Milltronics is fair in terms of machine tool class of 30years ago. For the money, it is hard to beat what Milltronics has to offer in a PC based control, reliability and support.
