my application will be creating replacement / custom guitar bodies from a variety of woods - probably the most difficult to machine will be Ash.
the wood will start off at around 50mm thick so I imagine that I will need something with some reasonable power.
Ive looked at Trend, Torchmate, PRT, Wadkin, AXYZ and Pacer.
all offer good systems - if expensive.
What I dont want to do is lay out a wad of cash only to discover that I destroy one per month or something.
I have not looked at the self build route but - considering my application - mostly guitar bodies and necks with some thin ic and aluminium machining thrown in... does anyone have any suggestions.
Im looking to make the purchase in May '07.
many thanks in advance.
