    Dental mill?

    I am looking for a mill for high precision and I don’t need much of a work envelope (4x4x2”) 3-4 axis work.
    Should I get a dental mill?
    I want sub micron machining
    I will be machining steels and titanium maybe zirconium if i can

    Are you referring to something like a Roland DWX series mill?

    If so I do not believe the Roland is appropriate for machining steel.

    Where are you located, is local support a concern?
