I'm about to pull the trigger on a Speedio S700, and was wondering if there was anything you know now that you wish you would have done differently when getting your Brother.
The machine will be mainly used in production of 7075 plate work (blanks 4"x6"x.625"). 1-5K piece runs. There will be occasions where I'll be cutting some 17-4 H1075 (2"x2.5".5"). The largest drill I use in the stainless is .5". The largest facemill is 2.5". Everything is machined on 2 sides only.
Buyers remorse can be a b***ch. I just want to make sure there isn't anything I've overlooked, like silly things that don't come standard that are rather necessary(I'm looking at you FANUC).
I've been making these parts for several years on a Sharp, but volume has got to the point I need to add another machine to the tight garage.
