Anyone with a TAIG-based mill in the Birmingham/Worcester area?

i would say there is little in the rigidity of the two machines. The x1 can mill steel and hard materials as i have done it.

Almost any machine can cut steel and hard materials ... it's just (within reason) a matter of how fast you want to cut it. I've cut steel and Titatium with my CNC router, just takes a while.

Robin: looks like I'm also quite near to you... I'm near Loughborough.

Ah.. a biscuit fan! John, I'm jealous of all your machines and the space required to house them, even if there is no floor space left! I might have to pop up to Mansfield in the next couple of weeks. Would it be okay to pop by if I do? It'd probably be late afternoon on a weekday though.

Make sure you bring hobnobs...apparently it's a wise move.
