[QUOTE="SmartLabJon, post: 333421, member: 14947"] I had a Select Hyrid w/changer. It was nothing but trouble from day 1. After 1 year of "trouble shooting" the mill was replaced under warranty. We rant it for about 3 years at a maximum of 4 hours per day all dry all the time. 3 of my 4 axes went bad and they wanted to replace the spindle as well. The quote was $28,000 and the warranty was only 60 days I think. It went in the dumpster and I bought a Roland 52DCi. Couldn't be happier! I also have a Mini which is a workhorse and I wish they still made them. Yes the Roland calculates much slower and mills a little slower but I'll take it for the peace of mind. We don't have a night shift either but I usually mill overnight and there is nothing like getting up in the morning and not thinking about where did the Select fail and how much do I have to remill. They don't make the Select's any more (well they were just re-skinned VHF mills) but they do continue to support them although I'm sure parts will be hard to find soon. VHF has their own line out and Ivoclar is doing the PM3 5 and 7 if I recall correctly. [/QUOTE]
