my cheap little mill runs without problems, Acorn and 4.99 beta software.
16h shift with 6000rpm, only short stops for changing work-pieces and still running perfectly
Will not get higher than 45°C, original only build for 2250 rpm
Can not complain about reliability with Acorn running short vector 4 Axis stuff day in day out

I am making a series of knife handles from high compressed wood.
Ready to use after 4-axis milling, only the butt need to be cut off.
Needs 40 min with 6000rpm, would be faster with a high speed spindle.

No there are no chemicals in the wood, it is cooked, and then with very high pressure reduced to 1/3 of its volume.
High strength, foodsave and a even higher price tag
