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

Bull there is no problem! You didn't tell us what you are making....don't leave us hanging. Fess up inquiring minds want to know!

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.

ha! thanks for the endorsement.
lights out manufacturing.
is compressed wood like stabilized wood?

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
