I understand that they are very different machines, but I'm interested in rigidity and accuracy.
I would like to machine small injection molds, and the travels on the DM2800 are just large enough. Mold materials are both aluminum and prehard steels like P-20. I would be using small tools, 1/4" and under for the most part, but doing lots of 3D surfacing with small ball mills.
I've been looking around and there are many used machines that I could get that are in the same price range, like an older Fadal, but I don't want to give up that much space in my garage. (I already have an injection molding machine that takes up lots of space...)
Anyone have an opinion/Experience?
My brother had 4 Dyna Mite 2800’s and he just sold 3 of them. I was going to buy one to go along with my Tormach PCNC 1100 but I learned about 2 major problems with the Dyna Mite machines.
Problem number 1, the Dyna Mite control only allows 900 lines of program information.
Problem number 2 and the biggest problem of all, Dynamechtronics, the importer of Dyna Mitemachines has gone out of business so spare/replacement parts are going to become really hard to get.
I’ve had my Tormach for 8 years and all I have ever done is run it.
You can buy GOOD PARTS or you can buy CHEAP PARTS, but you can't buy GOOD CHEAP PARTS.
