Being smaller does not make the machine any better at making smaller parts unless you bump up the spindle speed by a good amount.
You said 10k, which is better then my 7500rpm. But in truth, my VF-2 has 8100rpm and still not close enough to being faster enough, 10k isn't much over that when dealing with small intricate tooling.
My purpose was just to run a bunch of the smaller parts we make...seemed silly to have 20-30" of travel and be machining 1/2" square parts. The mini works perfect as smaller parts really don't need big hogging tools so its lacking power is not an issue.
To answer your question, yes it makes small intricate parts...the relatively low RPM means program feeds are limited mostly by the spindle speed. So it runs a bit longer then say a brother...but it runs, makes good parts and takes less space and a little less coin then a VF.
What is cannot do is run big parts or take hefty cuts...but I knew that going in, I have other machines for that...or I program easy and just let it run longer.
Biggest pet peeve. IF you DROP something off the table...chances are its gone. You cannot get under the table. Casting comes out...enclosure all around and its deep. If magnetic you can pick with a telescopic magnet...otherwise a couple turns of the auger and hop the part doesn't get crushed in it. Been there, done that and got the lousy shirt. Also the door being off center is a pain trying to setup in certain place.
Overall good machine, very happy wit it.
