    I have been working under a master craftsman making jewelry with a
    Premium quality ModelMaster 1250 Mill and ArtCAM/Jewelsmith
    Software. Want to go out on my own, and my price comfort range brings
    me to the Taig or MaxNC Mills. Pro's Con's? Each are nice folks to
    talk with and talk a good story, and have references by jewelry
    makers. Will etiher do the job of fine 4th axis jewelry? 90% of my
    machining will be in wax, and a little wood. The servo system is
    appealing to me on the NC. I take it that the structure of the Taig
    is better built? Could not afford to do so in the begining, but would
    like to upgrade spindle at some point to a 25K rpm unit. Thanks for
    the information.
