[QUOTE="rich green, post: 164301, member: 12668"] Some really helpful information for you here. Rjs offer is a pretty good one. The new Origin mill, spoken of by someone else is the Proteus5. It is a 5 axis mill. The spindle on the Proteus is a higher power spindle than the 5000. The Proteus is somewhat more expensive than the Roland, but is also more robust meaning longer useful life. However, Rob is correct in so far as ROI is concerned. I understand your concerns in re turn around times and shipping issues, but until you are doing 5 millable units a day its tough to justify a mill. If you want to see the output of an Origin mill you could call B&D as they do some outsource milling, I'm sure they would be more than willing to discuss what could be done to help you regarding turn around time. And if you do get he 5000, it might be smart to establish communication with them up front as you may need training and support. Its a big decision with lots to consider. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
