Anybody have any experience with this mill from Jensen?

not from Jensen (wasn't available from Jensen at the time),but we have three of them from other vendors. We've had some maintenance ups and downs but nothing too excessive. Replaced two spindles that were over recommended hourly usage and had a weird, hard to diagnose issue with one of them that turned out to be burs that were out of spec length wise.
Overall, we're happy with them and you can't go wrong buying from Jensen. They'll take care of you.

So the disc changer works well?

yeah, the disk changer hasn't been an issue. It's important to make sure the puck holder stays clean and well maintained. When we've had issues, it's the transfer from the changer to the holder. Clean it up, then it works fine.

If you are in the market for a disc-changer mill, check out the new DWX-52DC

The M305x (VHF S2 with Preciso CAM) like any machine will run reliably with good maintenance. This machine has conductive sensors for proper carriage movement. Safety features built into mounting the fixtures into the machine. It uses replaceable aluminum fixtures to carry the discs. The discs can remain in the fixtures while removing units so they can match your cam and previously used positioning of units fairly easily for future jobs.
It has an emergency removal hatch if a fixture were to get dropped and lodged into the bottom of the disc changing drum. It uses fixed pressure to mount the disc into the b axis of the rotation arm for mounting prior to milling.
It has a door and lift plate that work closely to allow for proper movement into and out of the disc changing drum. Their are some fairly easy maintenance procedures that can be done and should be done for the best possible longevity of the machine.
As far as processing, V6 CNC uses Batch processing of Jobs. This means you can load all jobs that are going to be run in a row prior to hitting start. This is useful if you have multiple materials to run unattended overnight or over the weekend. You can load one job at a time and this is quite a bit more common during the day. You can also load multiple jobs during the day for run in a single run. Once a job is calculated it can be re-positioned in the order you want to process the job. This gives some flexibility for processing high priority or rush jobs.
If you do run a batch overnight and come in the net morning any completed jobs can be unloaded from the disc changer drum and moved forward into your labs processing while any unfinished jobs will continue to be processed as the batch completes.
A distinct advantage is the use of Preciso CAM. You can calculate as many jobs as your pc can handle without any delay in them being milled or the milling unit waiting for CAM data to be sent over. You can also rely on quality surface finish, efficient milling speeds, good tool usage, and long term adaptation to some new materials.
If there are any other specifics I can help with please let me know.
