Anyone using the VHF R5 or the Roland DWX-53DC for milling full arch cases (multiple jobs) overnight? I'm looking for a testimony.
Main concern is that the machine(s) will do what they say. Haha. I know there are a lot of variables of course. Do you have any trouble with support with VHF?We have the older VHF S1/S2 milling into the night no issues. But anything can happen, lol. What's your concern?
The 52DCi disc changer is notoriously unreliable, by disc changer standards; or at least the old version was, the version that mostly used pressed n stamped sheet metal for its components- it can sag enough from heavy 20-30mm discs that it'll lose alignment or outright bend out of true, ours always needed human intervention often enough that we wouldn't trust it to run anything critical while unattended. They redesigned it to deal with these issues, I believe that design is now standard on 52DCis, but the 53 design seems to have been built around a robust disc changing assembly from the get-go, and from whaat i've experienced + heard, it's far more reliable.I had Roland 52DC-s milling over night with little problems regarding to changing mechanism (It had problems time to time),but there can be problem, when for example bur is breaking. Now I have imes 350 loaders and to be honest, I don't trust those loaders at all...
All my mills have been out of support for many years, i repair any issues with the mills and major repairs i have a friend that helps me out. Also i don't use VHF Cam software, i run all my mills with Ivoclars DS Cam, much much better.Main concern is that the machine(s) will do what they say. Haha.
