Another newbie, wising up before buying CNC router

Unless I have missed it, didn't see a sheet size quoted.
Without that it's pointless making any reply.

In his other post 600x400 is mentioned for an aplication

Yes, apologies for missing out the sheet size. It would be nice to work with bigger sheets - the PTFE tyically comes in 1200x1200 sizes.

But I'd need to go for a vertical one like JazzCNC's machine as space is quite tight at the unit.

So the conventional 600x400 - 1000x450 seem about as big as I can fit into the space available, and I can get the materials pre-cut to fit on the bed.

Yo BIG JOHN is back about time you showed your face ya Old bugger. We've Missed ya . . . Well I have anyway. .

GoldTop.

I'm usually the one laying into these commercial Machines. When I have please rest assured there is no malice intended towards the company.
The reason I comment is soley for the sake of others like you who are looking to buy. Experience lets me see thru the bull and spot things you and others wouldn't until it's too late.
Like Rob said lower down if the Manufacturers took negative comments onboard and acted on them rather than kick and scream. Or like others have done thrown there teddy out the pram they'd be recieved so much better. They'd also sell more machines I'm sure.

Now if you want a machine around 475 x 875 cutting area contact me via PM because I've got sexy little machine nearly finished which was cancelled order.

Big thanks to JazzCNC for taking time to educate me on the phone. Should be sorted in a couple of weeks. Got a lot to learn in the meantime and I'm looking forward to wising up. Time to get busy thinking about software.

And then I can get busy turning valuable materials into drifts of swarf while learning how to swear in new and interesting ways. :)

I am glad you appear to be getting sorted
