The machine has been great! I've cut mostly Aluminum with the machine but currently I am machinining 12 parts from A2 toolsteel the parts are 2.5" X 4" and range in thickness from 1/4" to 3/8", the machine is doing a great job with the tuff mat'l. The full inclosure does a nice job keeping the chips contained.
Phil at Mikini has been very responsive to all my questions and helped me getting the machine up and running.
I also purchased the 4th axis rotary table, it's a nice compact unit and works great. I haven't made anything with the 4th axis but hope to soon.
I'm in Massachusetts and would be happy to show off my Machine to anyone.
I've been machining and programing all types of machine tools for over 40 years and currently programing a pair of Makino A51's Horizontal Machining Centers with a 20 pallet automated cell system. (about a 3 million dollar system)
Makinos are high end machines and are very nice and after all that I am still impressed with the ability, repetability and accuacy of my Mikini 1610.
