I have an RH 30 with 5 axis tilting rotary that makes oilfield parts from 4140 most of the time. new July 2001. Machine has 23,000 + hours and can still hold 0.001 on a pocket mill with an endmill. Service is absoultly the best in the industry. Worked 4 years at Alcoa in central engineering and we had Mazak, Haas, MItsubshi, Hiedenhein, Fanuc, Seimens, and Hyundai easy key. None of these controls can stand in the shadow of the Centurion control for dependable easy to program right at the control, and run offline/ Master Cam or Gibbs programs. The best part of Milltronics is that they are not as large of a company as the other American mill manufacturer in Oxnard, and they will actually listen to you and build what you want or need. My sugestion would be bight the bullet and get all of the whistles and bells up front and make 2 or 3 extra payments and have the best you can get.
Many Year of Happy Milling
