I’m not trying to start anything but I’ve got a 5 Pro 48x48 and I’ve been watching a lot of Altmill videos recently, and I have to admit, I’ve quite jealous of the speed, smoothness and overall low noise (when jogging) compared to my system. Can any of this be improved by Carbide CNC over time with software or hardware upgrades or is this just going to be the way it is forever with this system? It’s not terrible, but it sure could be a lot better…

Well I’m replying to myself but after three days and a decent amount of views, I’m guessing the answer is “No” 
I think only C3D can answer that, I would assume the feed rates could be increased. I will tell you that I slow the machine down when using my 3/32” bit. I would rather take longer and retain the maximum detail. I think the machine will last longer running slower than the other mills, less stress when changing directions. I’m not using it for a business however and can understand the need for increased production environments.
