CNC router buying questions
What should I decide before contacting a CNC supplier?
Prepare the panel range, materials, operations, tool list, hole patterns, daily output, software, plant utilities, destination and budget range.
How should I compare two CNC machine quotations?
Put working area, spindle and drilling groups, controller, drives, vacuum equipment, tooling, loading, dust extraction, warranty, freight and exclusions in one comparison table.
Should I choose a lower price or a higher specification?
Choose the configuration that completes the required process at an acceptable cycle and quality. Extra power or options have little value if they do not solve a production requirement.
What should be written into the acceptance test?
Define the material, program, tools, dimensions, finish checks, tolerance, cycle timing, evidence and action if the machine does not meet the agreed result.
