    Purchasing advise - Chinese or American?

    I am considering buying my first CNC router. I know very little, but hope to learn with this machine. I will be using it for both hobby and relatively light business production. I will be cutting mostly wood and cross-linked polyethylene foam. I am considering the following two machines:

    1. Fineline Automation Saturn Series 2' x 4' CNC Router with the Nema 23 plug and play option for $4560 + router and mount.
    2. Jinan Jcut 6090B with 2.2KW spindle for $2490 + shipping and customs ($1000?).

    The Fineline is appealing because it is a supported American machine at a good price. Obviously the price is much more appealing on the 6090B. Also, Ian’s (aargh) testimony on this site about the 6090B made it sound attractive. I would love any kind of input on this.

    Hello zszabo,

    Thank you. I certainly do not want to repeat your experience. I haven't heard any stories like that from Jcut customers here.
