Martin,

    I purchased the Model Master CAD/CAM package about two years ago for
    milling metal molds along with wax and plastic too.  I really wanted
    to know if this was the right system to do what I needed for years
    and no worries of machine failure or loss of tolerance.  I visited
    there manufacturing facility and spoke with them at great length,
    and found that the CNC 1000 they sell which is the Art2Part system
    was what I needed.  I first wanted to see it cut, which they did in
    metal on a few various class ring and earrings metal molds. Next I
    wanted to see FINE lettering done and some filigree too.  The
    machine did it no problem.  Long story short, it is working very
    well for me with not one problem yet.  Also, they gave me a list of
    references to call that are cutting metal, and all seemed pleased.  
    I do believe that you should pursue the same route, a one day trip
    to them in Atlanta is worth it.  They will do the same for you I am
    sure. I feel that with most my expensive equipment purchases, I went
    to see them work and called references.  Word of mouth just was not
    good enough for me from third party information.  

Hope this helps,
Mark Andrews
