Well, my little TAIG based machine is now doing production work hollowing
out bricks and assemblies of various different sizes. I did a batch of 120
bricks the other night. It would have taken me a week on my manually
operated mill.

Brick hollowing doesn't have quite the glamour of making new and unusual
parts, but it is the main reason I bought the machine.

Roland makes an MDX-3 mill suitable for ABS milling but not aluminum. The
Taig is always showing off aluminum parts (because it can?) Roland does not
advertise as good precision as Taig promises.

By the way, I spoke to a Roland salesman. Although their machines have the
nice digitizing features, they don't have anything in the price/performance
range that Taig addresses.
