I'm thinking of getting a 4th axis for a Mini Mill 2. The Mini Mill 2 has about 4 more inches of Z axis travel than a Mini Mill.
I don't know whether to get a 160hrt or a 210hrt.

I currently have a bed mill with a 10" 4th axis, and some fixturing that would fit on a 210hrt, which would allow me to sell the bed mill (and save garage space).

I would like some advice about the pros and cons of getting a 160 or 210 4th axis.

Thanks

Mike
 
We use a 2003 Mini Mill with the extra 4" Z and a 160 for drilling pinholes and oil holes in pistons. Tooling length and faceplate tooling size are critical. Like the one stop responsibility for 4th and 5th axis on all of our cnc mills. No indexer failures running 30K plus parts per year. Any questions, PM me or ask here. Clyde
