I have been shopping for a mini mill/engraver that will do the job that I have been doing on my Deckel pantograph. I have included a couple pictures as an example of what I do. The coin and electrode are about the size of a half dollar. I use a 15 deg. single lip cutter with tips [FONT=Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]as small as .002"- .004". The design is only machined .007" deep, but I need to retain the fine detail that I get with the pantograph. I am about to order a Tormach 770 and add a high speed spindle to allow me to machine straight to steel and bypass the edm. My Major concern is whether the accuracy improvements in the series 3 machines, will give me the performance and results I need. I've looked at the Minitech but cant quite pay that price. Well that is my story. Any thoughts, info, recommendations or preferably personal experience that you could give on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
