If you got that knee mill in there without any problems, this may be right up your ally:

VM 1 Machining Center - Hurco 2005

It's footprint is no bigger than the mill you've got now. Starting price is just a hair under $40 000 USD. I don't know if that's good because I haven't actuallly priced out a mill to purchase yet, but it seems alright. The only thing I see about it is it uses it's own control software instead of GE or Siemens.

I know you're already in the trade and would more than likely teach me a thing or two on which CNC is better, but when I saw your post it reminded me of their ad so I thought I'd pass it along.


Looks like a nice shop though, good luck.

This is where you type a bunch of shit about how awesome your car is. FACT: It's been scientifically proven that the more shit you write in here the less cool your car is. Nine times out of ten the majority of people who talk shit down here don't even have any of the crap they talk about on their car. I drive an 8 year old domestic and barely give two shits about it. I beat the hell out of it and it begs for more, just like your girlfriend. Go ahead, cut me off. I dare ya.
