    Re: Shopping CNCRP Pro 48 vs. Tormach 24R

    We have a Pro 24x24 with the NEA 23's and have had zero problems. It has cut anything I could have asked and probably much faster then I have it going now.
    It is pretty easy to add "ballast/weight"...

    Have you seen the cncdepot spindle with tool changer? It’s pricey but might be worth it and still well under a cobra. Changing bits is annoying.

    I’m getting tooled up to try aluminum now.

    Re: Pro5X4?

    I did just get a quote to extend mine but haven’t pulled the trigger. It’s one of the reasons I picked the pro.

    Re: Pro5X4?

    If you can make room and afford it, get the biggest you can. I got the small 2’x4’ PRO because of space and wish so many times I had the 4’x4’ or bigger. I wouldn’t worry about flex.

    Re: Vacuum motors possibly cheaper

    How big of an area will one pump handle?
    What is your work flow using them?


    We do a lot of smaller stuff and from what I have read smaller parts don’t work the best on vacuum tables.

    Re: PRO4824 - Teenager Build

    Congrats! We have the same model and love it. Great to have the family involved as well. Our 10yr old son helped with ours and loves that he had a big hand in making it come to life.
