Have a quandary. Have grown to really enjoy the power and performance of the Tree VMC1060 in my shop. I don't use the ATC all that often - but full enclosure, flood coolant, and feeding with CamBam has worked out well.

Seems I may be moving from my current space. I'm in fact likely to end up in a sizable home shop (that's the plan, at least), but I'm in 8,000+ sq ft now and likely won't have the kick ass 3 phase power available at home (at least not without use of a convertor). Also won't have 14' ceilings.

So now what? What do I replace it with? I know I'll miss the sheer power and rapids from the get go. I've never really needed the massive size as most of my parts are 8"x10" or less (though I've made a few that are 36" long or so).

Looking for suggestions. Really torn about this situation. Some days I'm convinced I can live with a Tormach or Hass Mini Mill - others I can't. Mostly run aluminum. Mostly run one off parts. In truth speed isn't critical just *nice*.
