[QUOTE="DMC, post: 32697, member: 430"] I had the large MDX-40. Had ATC added. You think I'm joking or something? (talking to RLD) Just missing the dust covers for zirconia dust. The rails and the whole machine is not set-up for fast accurate milling. Too weak of a frame. I don't even see a frame. LOL Those chrome rails are not high quality CNC stuff at all. I think they came out of a Foosball table? Spindle is a stick of metal with two skateboard wheel ball-bearings attached to a cheap motor with a vacuum cleaner belt. Has no built-in computer and is driven from USB if I remember correctly (firewire?) Very much difficult to get three axis of encoder info on-the-fly. Most cnc machines have a radicaly different set-up with a dedicated CPU for the mill. The stream of info needed to control all axis is really important. The Roland would guessing it's position a lot of the time I would imagine, rather than using streaming data from all three encoders. Too much data for just a little firewire or USB.
