RE Hi Everyone. Which cnc to Buy

[Clive S]

Hi Everyone I would like to introduce myself I am Phil and I am currently in the market for a CnC router.
I am very confused regarding air cooled versus water cooled Spindles. which is the better and pros and cons for both, mainly i want to use the machine for cutting furniture board, ply wood etc at least at the moment anyway, my unit can get cold in winter and hot in the summer as it is a nissen hut type unit corrugated just in case that makes a difference.
I have around £10,000 + Vat to spend and would like to know what machines are recommended.
i have been looking at Fabertec, CKJ, KEW1325 (advertised on ebay) and Mantech Spartan any other suggestions and information gratefully received

many thanks

Phil

Welcome to the forum Phil. The budget you have quoted should get you a nice machine. There is a guy on here that builds them to order (Dean Jazzcnc) I think there are a few vids on here somewhere of his machines.

The water cooled spindles are much quieter than the air cooled. One of the cons for the air-cooled are that the fan slows down with the speed and therefore does not cool the spindle.
