    Question Entry Level CNC milling machines (below or near $10,000)

    Hey guys,
    Like many other members on here I'm looking to buy an entry level CNC milling machine. Often times I feel like I don't even know all of the machines that are out there. It seems anytime I think I do, I stumble on something new (or old) that I haven't seen before! PLEASE!!! Help me discover what's out there so I can add it to my table. Note: I have contacted Skyfire CNC for quotes but two days and still waiting. as soon as I hear back from them I will be adding a few more things to the table. Please PM or post if you know of entry level machines below or near $10,000.00

    You didn't mention the size of machine you're looking for, but Taig's and Sherline's CNC mills fall well within the budget, as does the ACT DMC III.

    Thanks for the tip! I guess I'm mainly looking for a Bed Mill, or a mini mill, rather than a Micro Mill but I'm interested in keeping tabs on all capable equipment in this price range

    Those look very nice! I would seriously consider buying one if you were on this side of the ocean!

    Re: Entry Level CNC milling machines (below or near $10,000)

    Hi,
    i agree that this is an issue which we work on later - But you are right we focus right now at the EU and neighbor countries but we also have an tender open for a load of machines to tel aviv ,.. Where i learned as soon as it is an ship the target doesn't matter ,.. but we try to be personal so after buy service is relevant and this is of course an issue over the ocean but if you are really interested we could set up an chat and see if we overcame the ocean issue. It is funny because we work with bobcad and they have the same issue in the other direction ,.. thank you for liking our machines

    Hi i like your list and if you want (even if we have the ocean issue ) i could add our machine including shipping if you drop me your address or haven ,. In the list you Ned then to add novakon they are USA now ! In the tormach list I miss openloop or closedloop control computer and cable kit I didn't find the price of the machine owners kit (which would prevent sales in eu for instance and I don't know if there is a base stand included or not and if it is dove tail or linear rail ? Good list maybe base oolong should be added as well Thomas

    Get a chinese 2.2kw cnc router here it is milling hardened tool steel. Metal removal rate faster & better than any tormach I know of.
