We are looking to purchase a machine to hard mill our in-house tooling.
Currently selection is focused on the Mikron HSM 500 LP
and the Makino F5
I would like to hear pros and cons from any of you with experience with these machines.
Advice and suggestions from anyone else with hard milling experience is also welcome.
