Hi everyone
I had an Email from Felder group this morning promoting their new "Portal milling machine 47.82" ( I am on their list as I bought a planer thicknesser ) so I clicked on the link to have a look as I actually will be needing a machine very soon due to flooding.
As I looked through the spec and pictures I thought "ok maybe not too bad if its cheap ish" there were certainly some bits I didn`t like the look of though,
then I scrolled to the bottom and saw the price. ......not cheapish at all.
It does look like it works fine but value wise not good.
I wonder if you will agree with my assesment ? It does not even have ballscrews but trapezoidal screws and nuts.
Here is a link to it https://www.felder-group.com/en-gb/products/cnc-machining-centres-c1953/cnc-portal-milling-machine-hnc-47.82-p142995.
Needless to say it is not on my shopping list.
