Purchasing New CNC
Purchasing New CNC
(OP)
Hello All,
I am looking to purchase a CNC Mill for our R&D facility. We would like at least a 4 axis Mill with something around a 12" working area. We machine all sorts of materials from stainless to plastics. The machine is not planned to be used for production, mostly one-off's.
We use Solidworks around here so it would need software that is well matched.
I only have about a $50k budget which would need to include a good majority of the tooling.
I've included a link to a new machine I was browsing. It looks like its about ~$20k. It would probably be suitable but seems a little undersized/underpowered. It would probably fine, but my budget would allow for something bigger/better maybe even with a 5th axis...(?)

Some options and advice would be greatly appreciated. Maybe a used Haas....
Best,
Dan

It is usually difficult, if not impossible, to machine a 3D shape using a manual mill.

There are good deals on new machines like Hyundai Kia which seems a good bang for the buck machine, and Haas is okay with a good easy user friendly control.
And agree with the good used machines too. With new you get some support though.
