    Blue elephant 1530

    Hello everyone!!
    I m seriously thinking about purchasing a machine directly from China and Blue Elephant and its representative Eric seem credible.
    The machine will be used to mostly cut acrylic (Plexiglas), polycarbonate and rarely some wood. Already have a 130w Laser cutter, but for thicker acrylic and polycarbonate it is not ideal.
    Therefore I would be very grateful if you could give me your opinion about the characteristics that were proposal to me by Eric for my type of work:

    Working area: 1500*3000*200 mm
    heavy duty 8 working table
    4.5 KW Water cooling spindle
    Fuling 5.5KW inverter
    Taiwan PMI 20# rails
    FL118 stepper motor and leadshine 860H drive
    DSP A11 control system
    Aluminum T-Slot table
    Tool sensor
    Helical rack gears for X,Y axis
    Automatic Lubrification system
    Artcam or Aspire software
    voltage: 380v 3PH 50HZ

    you guys think i should change something? Read about italy 4.5kw HSD spindle, it will make a big diference? costs +700
    Another Option is:
    "4.5KW china HQD air cooling spindle price is same as 4.5KW china water cooling spindle." - Which you think its better for me?

    Thank you very very much in advance,


    Kind regards,

    Regards,
    I have a 1325 ATC machine I received about a month ago from Igolden cnc in China.
    Had very good and helpful service from Lucas.
    I went with the 9kw HSD, my opinion it is worth the extra.
    I have the auto oiler and just put a switch to turn it off.
    If the machine sets idle for too long the auto oiler over oils (not good for wood projects)
    Do you have 380v service in your area?
    Mine is 220v single phase.
    Mine has 25mm rails
    I have servo motors instead of stepper motors.
    I also purchased the vacuum table.
    I am very happy with it.
    Hope this helps.getting?

    What did you pay and how did you get it from the port to your shop?
