OPTIMUM Optimill VMCs?

[JOGARA]

It be curious about pricing. Standard looking machines. The smaller ones have spindles that are very underpowered.

The larger one runs on 3 phase which is a problem for most of us. 8000 rpm is OK for most stuff, BT30 is nice. Id estimate this machine to cost somewhere between £10 - 15K, if not a bit more.

I know that the F80 is £30-35k.
The F2 looks a tad too small to me. F3 would be alright.

And yea three phase but should be able to use single to three phase converter as it won't be that much HP?

£30K, ouch. This is why I built my own machine.

There are ways to sort out 3 phase requirements, often its just the spindle motor and/or a coolant pump that needs 3 phase. Most of which can easily be changed.

Id rather look at a smaller Haas mill for £30K or have something built.
