Hello,
We are an engineering tech start up and recently purchased a 4'x8' Pro kit, which should show up sometime next week (early March 2021). We are quite task saturated but are eager to get the...
Hello, I'm looking for a decent reference book on machining composites, specifically carbon fiber. If anyone can recommend one, that would be great. Thanks so much!
We decided and purchased an AVID Pro CNC 48x96 kit. This seems to be the best value with great performance. Unfortunately it's currently a 14 week lead time. However, we're excited to get it. In the...
We have decided to not purchase any tooling from PDJ for several reasons.
1. On the phone call I spoke with Phil. Several of the answers to my technical questions were "this machine just makes you...
tannerc: thank you for this review. I am in need of a 3 axis machine for thin carbon fiber trimming (UAVs), for wings and fuselage. The 42x50 with 36"Z seems to fit us perfectly. We really need that...
I am also open to used 3 axis machines that are in good working order. As I mentioned, our budget is up to $10K. If anyone can help direct, that would be great.

Thank you for the reply and guidance. Totally agree with you on the statement "the right tool for the right job" - thank you for this piece of wisdom. Will also not combine prepreg cutting...
routalot: thank you for the candid reply. Not cynical at all. I have not done any CNC programming (3 axis or 5 axis except for 3D printer FDM type programming). I appreciate your realistic feedback....
WTB 5-axis CNC router for mould making (foam tooling board) & carbon fiber trimming / drilling
Budget is <= US$10K
We are a small early stage UAV startup in Texas and we do in-house carbon...
Following... I too am looking at both Avid and PDJ for tooling foam board machining and carbon fiber trimming / cutting.
