Hi, We are a small family run business producing lead weights and selling them along with Aluminium moulds currently being imported from Europe.
I am thinking of the option of producing moulds for in house use in the lead weight side of things. I do not want to throw lots of cash at this until I am sure it is the right thing for us. So I have been looking at some of the Chinese models 3040CNC as an entry level machine. My engineering skills stop with hand tools apart from shot blasting and welding.
So my few queries would be
Is my plan able to get off the ground?
Am I looking at the right machine ?
Which software would you recommend?
Regards
Mike
