At the risk of sounding like a smartass...What are the facts behind your operation?

What kind of environment are you operating in?

Who uses it (It was always amazing to leave for the night with a perfectly operating machine and come in the next day to complete chaos created by our off shift associate,Not Me)?

And how much use does your CMM get?

We are in the process of putting a Vista into operation on the shop floor to be used by our machine operators at least 24/5 so I to am interested everyone else's experiences.
