OK it looks like i may end up being a pioneer in Australia for chinese built routers, especially this one http://www.dkj.cn/eproshow.asp?sort_id=00020001
It's called a CX-6090 and it's cheap as chips so i am not expecting super performance or quality from it (US$3200 total cost including shipping to my nearest port in Australia). I'd really like to know if anyone else has bought one or something similar and what were the problems. I have been in two minds about buying a table/gantry Locally or imported then fitting motors and controllers or just building from scratch. But when i found this little guy i thought 'well what the hell' It's practically turn key stuff.
I have read some of the thread http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showth...=laser+marking
and it's mainly based on laser markers and the main gripe appears to be with the software.
But alot of you guys have been retrofitting the X3 and other asian mills and lathes without much hiccup from what i can see.
So please correct me if i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure i've made up my mind.
By the way it looks like member: wklaser is advertising this machine also
