Plus it will only make soft parts. Not usable prototypes, unless your prototyping plastic parts.
actually Grizzly is where I been looking. I have bought and used stuff from them before with acceptable results. What I really need is to find a local seller of used and rebuilt equipment so I can visit them daily to drool and harrass them into a good deal on a name brand machine.
I like the Centroid operating system.Very user friendly apparently from all indications. Actually I'm torn at the moment between learning the Fadal system or just biting the bullet and updating to the centroid on my VMC now.
Personal opinion only! I feel that if you do not need fancy profile work you don't really need a CNC. A good Bridgeport type machine with XYZ digital readout will do 90% of all you need and with more accuracy than a bridgeport machine CNC converted.Why? Unless a machine has ballscrews instead of regular leadscrews you will have problems keeping on tolerance/positioning.
