i'm asking this for a friend... he has a shop with a few medium sized cnc milling centers and other equipment and they just bought a new machine. the thing is that the machine is pretty big and it's not ideal to run on small parts (4" by 4" and such). he is looking for a small machine up to $10,000 that could do small parts, must have closed feedback loop and should be accurate to 0.001mm or ~0.00004" does not matter if it is open design or milling center.
if anyone have suggestions for models or even makers that make these kinds of mills that would be highly appreciated.
