I need a larger mill that will give me a milling envelope greater than my current milling machine in which the x axis is limited to about 12 inches. It seemed a good idea to add CNC to this since i eventually wanted to get into CNC milling. I have size restraints because of the small size of my shop. I explored the world of CNC bed mills and knee mills with table sizes of 9x49 to 10 x 50 with an x axis typically around 30 or more inches. The best bang for the buck and the most compact mill i could find was American Machine Tools version of the CNC variant of the Accu II mill. It comes in two models one with R8 vs iso 30 spindle with 3hp motor and a second version with iso 40 spindle and 5hp motor. Anybody here have experience or know anything about these machines..the good, the bad and the ugly ?
thanks
