[QUOTE="ztech, post: 354149, member: 3022"] You should judge that on hours of use and your tolerance for repairs. You will have break-downs that will impact that decision and they can be somewhat expensive. The axis motors will go out usually under 5k hours (replace all the x-y-z when one goes out then A-b when one of those goes out, Spindle, around 7 k. The tool measurement and some other sensors will go at some point but that is about it for major repairs but you do have some preventative maintenance that will replace wear parts every 1000 hours. Mine is at almost 6 yrs and going strong. [/QUOTE]
