Re: CNC Mill

I looked into a Prototrak bed mill from Southwest industries this fall. They are pretty nice, and I really liked the idea of being able to run a machine in either fully manual or CNC mode. It seems like a great way for students to learn. Unfortunately, the open style guarding raised some safety concerns, and when I priced the machine out with a few options, it was actually more expensive than a Haas TM1-P. You can imagine which one I decided to go with
