I have been fortunate enough to have been asked to sit in on a series of meetings to discuss purchasing a new milling center. The cast of characters include myself, another shop guy, an engineer or 2 and the required bean counter / management type person. I have ran / programmed quite a few mills and other machines....I have a few brands that I like better than others.....and 1 or 2 brands that I would not spend your money to buy. I would like to hear opinions (look out ) from people "in the know"......what factors should be taken into account when deciding on a machine with box ways.....or linear ways? What advantages do each have? I know a few of them but would like to be enlightened as to the thoughts of others.
