Hi
New here. Be gentle.
I run two ExelCnc machines - both 1100X600. The oldest one is about three years old now and the second about two years. So I've just started to understand G-Code a little bit.
Each machine had a couple of very minor issues in the early days and Mark at Exel worked patiently and intelligently with me to solve them. The next best thing to getting everything right all the time is putting everything right when it needs to be. So they score for service as well.
I primarily use them working with hardwoods and while they don't work all day every day, they work all day most days and do it without missing a beat. I initially specified Elte type spindles but converted both machines last year to mounting three Kress spindles so that I can cut three identical components at the same time. The machines handle this perfectly and , for wood, I wouldn't bother with the more expensive and fussier spindle.
I have used them to cut Ally but it requires a great deal of patience.
I would buy another ExelCnc machine in a heartbeat. They are well built using good quality components with real engineering. (Although I'm actually building my next one myself - for the fun of it)
I'm in Woking so its a good stretch of the legs from Brighton but if you want to come and see them in action let me know.
(not a shill - just a happy customer)
