Kompass H 1000 GS

[Clive S]

Hi Chaps,


While I'm interested in doing a DIY build and have even mostly designed one I came across these guys and am interested to know if anyone here has any experience with the brand or model in particular and weather of not you think it is fit for my purpose.

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the forum. Do you want to use the machine as a hobby or to earn some money. This is from the link you provided :- Perfect for drilling holes or cutting circuit board traces
Carving Machinable Wax, Wood, or Plastics! and Designed for the manufacture of PCB's and Model Making....Also the spindle is not big enough at 800W neither is the ER11 collet.

It looks a bit on the small side - with 80mm Z travel you might struggle to carve necks. As Clive said the spindle is too lightweight for serious work and ER11only goes up to 7mm shank (I think).

Cheers,

Rob
