Hi All. Do you have any problems with Ceramil Motion 2 milling machine ? We bought the machine 1,5 year ago and already two serious problems - Sensor after 8 month and now Spindle Error ! The machine is not heavily used :-(
Hi. Yes, my Ceramil Motion 2 has had serious problems, it's very lightly used, about 3 years old.
1. a plastic tube inside sprung a water leak and the moisture sensor shut off the mill if I wanted to use the wet portion. Those greedy bums at AG wanted $2700 to come out and fix it! I ended up cannibalizing a section of tubing from a dental chair and just fixed it myself, even though they "warned me against it" for some reason.
2. the "71 arm" is worse than garbage. We've spent countless days and weeks with stripped screws, stripped female inserts, so inconvenient to simply change pucks in a busy lab. I think it must be slightly warped or something. We finally went to the 98, no thanks to AG, and are very happy.
3. I get spurious errors that shut off the machine once in a while, stuff like "could not pick up the tool"..and the only way to unfreeze the mill is restart it.
I wouldn't buy another AG mill, due to their rip-off service fees. I mean, $2700 to replace a 1 dollar section of plastic tubing that took all of 5 minutes?
