I am a recent college graduate starting a decorative concrete business. I plan to use a CNC router to machine 3D carvings for concrete molds for fence panels, etc. I don't need a vacuum table or ATC. Laguna has given me the option of an HSD 3hp spindle to replace the standard Hiwin liquid cooled.
I keep going back and forth with my confidence in a Laguna Swift.
Does anybody have a Swift in operation? If so, what is your opinion of the machine or Laguna as a whole?
I have also been considering a Techno HD series (also 60x120). The option of increased Z height is very appealing.
I have read the threads pertaining to Laguna, but it seems those all revolve around "their" old design.
Laguna Swift shipped is $18.5k. Techno HD with standard Z (7.25") is around $27k shipped.
Thank you for your time and opinion/experiences.
