Ok so I am looking at purchasing a cnc machine Inc software and trying to figure out if outlay and maintenance are justified on savings.
Usage: wood cutting only
Cutting area- will be cutting 8x4 sheets
Materials: plywood and mdf boards at a maximum of 25mm
I will require on site training as well. We will be cutting all shapes
Things I cant seem to get my head around:
Do I need 3, 4 or 5 axis?
Cutting time: average cutting time on one board?
Vac system: do I need this? Can this be done manually after each board has been cut?
Tooling- what tooling will I require? It is only cutting shapes, no engraving, nothing really complex, curved circular lines at the most.
I'm a complete novice in terms of cnc and would appreciate any help or advice. Budget for this ideally only want to spend for what I need.
