What machine cutting area suits you best.?

[Voicecoil]

Like Doddy, two areas of interest:

Chunky stuff
#1 Mill/machining centre /whatever
#2 X,Y, Z : 500x250x200
#3 0.9m x 0.8M x Z=??
#4 Bench-top
#5 Ali, brass, mild steel. composites
(nearly finished woohoo!)

Sheet stuff
#1 Router
#2 X,Y, Z : 2400x1200x150
#3 3m x 1m-ish x tall as necessary
#4 floor standing, vertical format
#4 MDF, plywood, ali, composites, plastics

[routercnc]

#1 heavy built router
#2 ~800x450x150
#3 ~1200x800x400(height not critical)
#4 bench top
#5 aluminium bias (speed feed) with suboptimal for wood

My needs are a bit odd. Need to cut fairly large sheets of liteply for model making
Also fairly small sized pieces of aluminium with good finish and accuracy.

Good luck with what I guess you are planning. Maybe a well made 6040 size machine would prove popular.

Not so Odd actually, I get asked for this often, usually by model makers or RC guys.
