I am looking at add a small CNC metal machining capability to my workshop, to sit alongside a larger manual mill. I am extremely limited in space, but I believe I could just about fit a smaller Denford or Boxford VMC without actually knocking down any walls. These seem to be an easier path to follow compared to a manual mill conversion.
My initial research suggests a Denford Novamill might be a good option - newer and better spec than a Starmill, and smaller than a Triac (which wouldn't fit!). Alternatively a Boxford 190 VMC could work. I just wondered whether any owners out there might have reasons to go for one brand over the other? Both seem equally straightforward to upgrade to Mach3/LinuxCNC without ripping out all the electronics. Are there any other considerations before I go looking to acquire?
Thanks in advance
Graeme
