Hi Ken,
Looking into a new Knee Mill:
3 axes CNC
10x50-54"
5hp
Inverter driven variable speed
(I like the idea of generally higher RPM and programmable spindle speeds)
Power draw bar.
Want to keep the price at $25K or very close
These specs are not carved in granite.
As far as capability goes this should not be a problem on any machine that fits these specs.
I do lean toward PC based controller as I have had very expensive personal experience on automotive diagnostic equipment that was proprietary IC board upgradeable/repairable only. Faster block execution times seem to be faster on the PC based as far as I can tell compared to other machines I have looked (I.E. can afford)
Thanks, and I will look at the Milltronics.
