We are looking at a Makino V22 and a Micron HSM400 to do hard milling.
The material will be tool steel at 58 Rc with depth of cut about .100 max. Average cutter size will be about 1/4 to 3/8 with some 1/16 cutters.
Micron says their mill is a 1+G machine and the Makino is only a .5 g machine.
The base material on the Micron is a more stable material than cast iron which is what the Makino is made of.
I would like some opinions from users of these particular models, what are your likes and dislikes.
Thanks for any help.
