    Put money in or buy new machine?

    So I'm trying to decide here what to do. I have a 2000 Cincinnati Arrow 750 with 6000 spindle hours on it. When I bought it new I pretty much optioned it out (high speed, probes, scales etc.) except for chip conveyor (mistake). I do primarily injection mold work for low production aluminum tooling Now I have a feeling that I'm going to have to put some $ into it soon - spindle & ball screws. My second option is to sell it for what I can get - maybe $25-30,000cdn and buy a new mill (probably Haas VM2 or 3). I don't think the Haas will be that much faster in the end though.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
