Brother has been building Compact Machining Centers for 33 years. They were the first to use BT30, the first to tap solid with Synchronized Tapping in '85 and they basically created this category of machining center. They created these machines for the best reason, to make their own products (sewing machines, printers...) and they did it right. After using them with great success they then offered them to other manufacturers. They continue to push the envelope and capabilities with many models and options available all with BT30 or BBT30 only. Over 150,000 installed worldwide. One of the major differences of the Brother is the remarkable Accel/Decel rate of all axes and the spindle. This radically quickens cycle times. Other builders will make their rapids look faster on the brochure but when the rubber meets the road the Brother will be quicker.I will be happy to run your program(s) for you for your comparison. I will PM you my contact info. I only post here to be helpful, to help people get the best information about what's available to them no strings attached and to assist when current users have questions.
