Another newbie, wising up before buying CNC router

Hi,

Yes, a lot of criticism is put out for makers who tout flimsy machines with poor design and cheap electronics. In some cases they damn well deserve it, especially when they do not offer any customer support worth having. Once they have your money, you are on your own. This forum has seen this time and again when people turn to this forum to get them out of trouble when they have been abandoned by the machine supplier.

By all means seek opinions about particular machines. If you are getting serious about a purchase.

Just remember that most members are here because they can and have built better machines, cheaper than buying, but there is also a community of professional machine users who can give valuable knowledge about the capabilities of machines they have purchased.

Any CNC manufacturer that doesn't evaluate criticism of their products and use it to improve their machines is not doing business properly.

Anyway, rant over, the nurse has just brought my cocoa

Cheers,

Rob
