Looking at my 2019 upgrades want list and priority.....

I already have one ATC (12 pocket version) on one of my 1100M's. However my second one does not have one..... Nor does the Slant Pro... And then there is the M+ upgrade.....

My thoughts are:

ATC for the Slant Pro - $5,000 (with tooling)

Servo Upgrade for both mills - $4,000

ATC for the second 1100M - $5,000

Once I got the ATC dialed in on the 1100M - that thing has been smooth as butter and 100% reliable. Now.... I do keep an eye on it and update things like the TCP, clocking, air pressure and of course, PM on the R8 collet.

Would love to hear from anyone who added the Slant Pro ATC at a later date - did it simplify your life? One of the big things I hate is having to swap tools on the gang plate due to running out of room in the X axis.

Thanks,
Awall
