Critique my (steel) chinese machine (AccTek)

[the_wildgoose]

How did you get on with this? Did you end up buying one? What make Did you get?

Nope, I put it off and never worked out my specifications really. I dunno, the machine sounds ok for the money, in fact I'm struggling to see the issues with these machines for the price, at least if you are willing to treat it as a raw materials price and rebuild them if needed? Dunno, completely inexperienced at this... Advice welcome!

(I never got any replies to the message above - I did wonder if I tickled peoples "advertorial spam" filters. It was meant to be a genuine question though!

I think your right and that is the way you have to look at it. There is risk involved with everything, especially when buying from overseas. I think it's just about trying to negate that as much as possible and off set it to the cost saving.

I'm still looking at options but I'm tempted IF I can find a decent, reliable company. We brought a large laser machine from China approx 18 months ago, we never would have been able to afford the same quality machine from the UK. We had to put the work in to research the companies but it did pay off in the end.

I guess I'll keep looking!
