Actually have several Milltronics.
Started back in the mid-90's and still have the original machine.
MB20, VM17, RW15, VM2016, ML17, SL10

Have had excellent service out of these machines.
They use "off the shelf" components for the electrical and electronic systems.
The only proprietary component is 1 motion control card.
Factory is always helpful if the need occours.
Interface is really easy to navigate.

Vm16 here and mazak qt10 . I have a milltronics salesman coming Monday on a vm5020 . He quoted me 80k base for that 1. They seem to offer more then haas on the base machine . I guess they replace the vm25 which I'm looking at used . If they're hight is right on the website , it'll fit in my current shop so I still only need to heat 1 building .


Nice work on the B&E so far

Hi there! RC construction has recently become my hobby No 1. You know, I always wanted to learn what real farming is. I'm highly interested in the agriculture equipment like those on https://cranenetwork.com/ website. I have just one question, what should I focus on to get involved into the real agriculture world?

It really depends on your skill level and access to equipment. If you enjoy building, I would get a few model kits and progress to making from scratch.
Hope this helps.

Cranes don't have much to do with farming but if you are into cranes, check out-kerst's cranes on this forum. He has some amazing models.

Looks really good!! That is a lot of small pcs. I can't see the size of the pins you used but I know they are small. Keep posting pictures.
