My parts would pretty much fit inside a shoebox, so I don't need a big envelope. I don't need a cnc, as we won't be doing production runs through the machine. It will be used for some dimensional verification, and some for reverse engineering, so I can get the interface right for my parts.
I see that Mitutoyo has what looks like a decent machine for $26.5K. Years ago I used a few Sheffield machines, and always had good luck with them. Software was easy, also easy to write subroutines in basic to set up automatically calculated data. Last time was about 30 years ago though.
Mitutoyo is sold here by Yamazen, some of my favorite people. Also comes with what looks like a decent warranty. Is the software friendly? Is the machine reliable?
Do you have another favorite? Friendlier software?
all help appreciated!!
