Looks like I'll have to learn to use the LPKF Protomat S62 at work. Has anyone used one of these routers? If so, are there any problems I should be aware of and any workarounds tips. Links to tutorials would also be appreciated. Thanks.

Fiducial recognition can sometimes be a bit of a pain when you flip the board to mill the other layer. I found that marking the fiducial locations with a pen before you flip it (directly on the white vacuum bed) helps aligning the board a bit faster.
Turn the vacuum cleaner off when you flip the board 
Try to gently scrape the side of a PCB over the vacuum bed when you flip a board, it helps removing any left over residue from the drilling stage.
Be aware of the wear of the tools. Tool adjustment.

Tool worn out at the end of 40 minutes of milling.

Same tool, adjusted.

Same tool, adjusted a bit too deep.
