E-Mag definitely! Although I like my E-Micro, I'm anxiously awaiting the AGD modular bodies for the better features and profiling with my Warp. Plus, for the price of an E-Micro, you could probably get an E-Mag AND Warp Feed altogether. The modular bodies will bring about ideas for your own milling designs, so there's no need to go with the E-Micro just for the vertical feed or the milling and anno.

I have a Micro EMag and the only problem I have had was a worn spring and I lost the plastic battery pin (which AGD promptly replaced for free).

It is true that some of the Micro EMags have had problems, but I would not brand all of the Micro EMags as problematic.

Ultimately it will be a personal choice you'll have to make.

Good luck and welcome to AO!!

I'll admit that I get a bit over-zealous with bashing Pro-Team. The reason I bought an eMicro in the first place was a friend has one that has performed flawlessly in the 8 or so months he's had it. Still, it's a real bummer when you fork out big bucks and get a toy that doesn't work right out of the box (bad quality control) and that can't be fixed! The choice (agd) is yours (agd) get whichever one (agd) YOU like. (agd)

edit: the rumors of the bodies being machined out-of-spec are just that, rumors. It is my hypothesis, based on 23 years of toolmaking/machining that the location of the sear/sear pin and plunger rods are incorrect, and the solenoid can't overcome the extra force needed to pull the saer to release the bolt. The sear pin, and the bushing it fits through in the sear were also VERY sloppy in my specimen. Pro-Team modified AGD's design to accomodate the MicroMag bodies.
