[QUOTE="paulg100, post: 30919, member: 1643"] Hi Murtonm Am in the UK also in Bristol, welcome. Now in the interest of saving you a whole bunch of money- 2 man lab - DO NOT by into milling your own stuff! The outsourcing/milling market is at a competitive stage now where you will maybe save £10 per unit by milling your self (this is in material costs only and does not take into account the cost of the machine, tooling, servicing and faulty millings, so will infact be far less. The company with probably give you magical figures on profits and ROI, it will almost certainly be bull****) How long is it going to take you to get an ROI on the mill by saving maybe £1-2 per unit? Plus the fact you can get stuff milled by a PROPER industrial mill, not a bench top coffee machine. I am not a milling center and have no affiliation with a milling center. Only the experience of buying two mills over the past 10 years and with a much larger lab than 2 people and i promise you it will take for ever to get a return, infact IMPOSSIBLE to get a return with 2 people. Buy a scanner first, outsource and once you start hitting maybe 10-15+ size then MAYBE think about getting a mill. FWIW ;) [/QUOTE]
