Looking at a Makino F5 and a Okuma Genos M560 for hard milling of tool steal that has been heat treated to 60 to 64 Rockwell. Does anyone have recommendations?

Just want to point out (not saying you don't know this) that for hard milling in that rockwell range, everything is going to matter. Whatever machine you get, make sure to get quality tool holders, and tools as well. If you are doing a comparison, I would make sure that each MTB is using the same holders as well. So don't compare the makino using Nikken Lyndex tooling to the okuma using a generic run of the mill sidelock. Or one using a sidelock and one using shrink fit, etc.
