is there any interesting desktop 5 axis machine? I haven’t found something enclosed. For me, noise reduction and particle containment are a must.
I think Roland is asking for premium prices because they also include a CAM software that is very easy to use. With other mills I read that you must purchase the software yourself and is quite expensive.
I would love to see something like the Carvey or MDX-40a but with automatic tool changer and 5 axis below USD 10K.
I did take a look at littlemachineshop.com and ended up on the SIEG website. This looks interesting (but quite ugly to have in an office): http://www.siegind.com/products_detail/&productId=946a37ab-806f-4f81-879f-224a3f62db35.html
I would love the MDX-540 with the safety cover, but is insanely expensive
