[QUOTE="tuyere, post: 360517, member: 26916"] We had nothing but trouble from our S5, it probably wasn't anything fatal but the very poor + slow support from VHF themselves on issues soured us on them. Our vendor was also frustrated with them, they haven't been working with VHF for long and hadn't had to do deep support between us and the manufacturer before, and we spent cumulatively weeks just waiting for them to get back to us or the vendor about things, or to send us replacement parts the vendor didn't stock. The machine itself seems fine, if you get a good one, but that's only half of the equation. As also mentioned, the S5's CAM software is very crufty and archaic, nothing about it is intuitive and it's slow + awkward to use, I really wouldn't want to be using it for all my jobs. If you're only looking at dry milling, you're also not taking advantage of a lot of the S5's capability that you're paying for, we used it with the wet milling attachment and ran imax + CoCr cases on it.
