[QUOTE="tuyere, post: 360165, member: 26916"] Hard to recommend anything without more context on what you actually need from a mill / what your current and future production expectations are. For example, are you just dry milling or wet milling too, the proportion of wet/dry jobs you're running, what material and application is your bread and butter, etc. Disc changers are nice, but people tend to make poor use of them wrt productivity, imo they only really pay for themselves when they're running parts while you're kicking your heels up or 'not at work'. Switching between dry and wet machining is a pain in the ass and is pretty inefficient to do frequently, if your volume is big enough it can become a good idea to dedicate mills to one role, and choose mills for the specific type of work and duty cycle they're best-suited to vs. having to compromise on an all-round machine.
