Hi all.
I'm looking to purchase a CNC router sometime over the next few months and I would like some advice if possible.
I'm looking to purchase a CNC area with a cutting area of approx 4'x4'. I would love an 8'x4' but I would be left with little to no workshop space left.
I'll mostly be cutting wood and plastic sheets so I don't need something with massive Z travel but it would be nice to have a decent amount of travel in case I need it.
Budget is approx £5-6k, I'm hoping I can get something that's quality and suits my needs for that amount.
I would prefer to buy something new and from a UK supplier in case I need after sales support and for spare parts etc.
I've been having a bit of a search and I've found a few machines so far:
[Routout Z90 XL]
[Marchant Dice 4x4RACKPIN1]
There is also the [RoboCutters EagleIV CNC Machine 600x900mm] although it's much smaller than what I would ideally like.
I found and old thread about the Routout CNCs [here] and a not so favourable review of the larger 8'x4' Marchant Dice machine [here].
Does anyone have any experience with any of these machines?
Are there any other companies I should be looking at?
Thanks for your time.
