Ohhh yeah forsure, time to total it lol. Did you buy another Roland or go with something else?
Since then:
2 more Dwx-50 that have been awesome - 4 years, 2 spindles and one rebuild.
3 Roland 51d that have been very good, 2-3 years, minor issues only.
1 Amann girbach ceramill motion 2 - 3-4 years - awesome, minor issues and one expensive recalibration of the rotation for abutments.
1 ivoclar weiland select hybrid - 2 years. - nightmare! Constant repairs and downtime, very expensive to run and more problems than the rest of the mills combined.
1 Axsys Versamill 5s400 - so far awesome, minor complications, real workhorse.
Bear in mind we are pretty demanding equipment wise, we run the mills a lot of hours and put a ton of units through them. We also have very rigorous equipment maintenance - I can pull logs on every piece of equipment and know that maintenance was performed and track uptime and service costs, as well as material usage by machine. We maintain them well, but we need them to RUN.
Going forward - we are adding the versamill 5x200 from Axsys this month, and will most likely be gradually replacing the Rolands with 5x400 or 5x200’s (it I buy a boat the ivoclar mill might make a decent anchor lol)
