Jinan Quick CNC Router Purchases
Our current 1500 x 3000 ( 5x10 ) CNC Router has been in use for the last year and a half. It is an excellent machine. The workload in our family business continues to increase and we are using the CNC Router more and more every month. We rely so much on the machine that should it break down - it would cause big problems with our workflow. Therefore it was decided to buy a second machine to assist with the work output, and also as insurance against any breakdown.
I conducted some research via Alibaba.com and also Tradekey to find out just which brands of machine were available from China, and then requested some quotations. The search ended after we received the quotes from Jinan Quick CNC Router co,ltd. Their prices were very competitive, and the service first rate. The machines also have several features that i found impressive. In particular - the lubrication system that i will post about later.
We also decided to buy a second machine -1200 x 2400 ( 4x8 ) for my own use as we do not want to use the production machines for anything other than making our wardrobe doors. Then after some negotiations, we also bought a smaller machine 600mm x 1000mm for another project.
Here are some photos of the actual machines, which were taken just before they were crated up for the trip to Australia -

All this time that we have had our current machine - i have resisted the temptation to test my skills on it - for fear of breaking it, and causing downtime within our business.
Now i can get into it bigtime! There are going to be Ford Mustang signs everywhere. My wife wants some new kitchen cupboards, etc etc.
Specifications -
3KW Water Cooled Spindle
Rack and Pinion Transmission
Max Speed 35,000mm/Min
Max Cutting Speed 25,000mm/Min

I see from the photo that the first job i need to do on it is to secure the DSP Cable.
Not sure whether this machine will live in my garage or at work. Wherever i can spend the most time with it i guess.

The 600 x 1000 machine. A little gem!
This machine intrigues me. A small machine that is built like a tank!

I have noticed that there are many buyers for these little machines. They are mostly built at 600mm x 900mm. The extra 100mm is probably a good thing.

Max Cutting Speed 6,000mm/Min
DSP Control System

We will have lots of fun with this little machine.

The Quick CNC Routers have arrived
Hi guys, The machines arrived at the scheduled time of 9.30. We had hired a large ( huge ) forklift to get them unloaded from the flatbed truck.
It has all gone very smoothly so far and we have already unpacked the 600mm x1000mm router. We are quite impressed so far.
Here are some photos of the load, unpacking and the machine.
Need to rush as the boys are waiting to uncrate the other 2 machines.

The 1500 x 3000 Quick CNC Router
There were some rumblings yesterday and suggestions that maybe one brand is better than the other. After unpacking this machine what we found is a CNC Router that is the same - but different.
The table is well built and has quite good welds. The finish of the machine is excellent. The bakelite Vacuum table is certainly straight with no apparent dips.
The Spindle is a 4.5 KW HSD and is well protected inside the large glass fronted cover. The large cover does however limit access to change bits. Originally i expected that the cover would hinge open in order to change bits, but it is stationary and the dust shoe is what opens up for a bit change. I presume that the idea is to prevent dust from collecting on the Spindle. Also visible inside the cover are the Lubrication lines which lube the Z Axis Ballscrew. Will find out if the dustcover impedes access to the bit changing area after we connect the wiring up ( hopefully tomorrow ).
The side rails appear well built, and the Lubrication system should ensure smooth travel of the gantry.
For this machine we opted for the water cooled vacuum pump. I noticed that the machine does not have a vacuum tank under the table. Instead it has a very neat looking series of 6 hoses that lead to a type of manifold at one end of the table. The Vacuum is operated from switches on the operation console - where you can choose all or any of the six zones.
The operation console is a very well built unit. Nice gloss finish and good quality fittings on the cabinet. The controls look to be straightforward and you need a key to start the machine.
At this time we are stoked with the machine and look forward to cranking it up.
Will quit rambling now. Here are some photos of the machine
