i'm looking for advice on a particular machine the one below circled in red is the one
i've targeted it as it has the most powerfull motor, with the largest table and it's travel distances are perfect for what i want to do
the only downside is that it top speed is 2080 rpm which i'm not too concerned about since it is a belt style transmission and turning a new set of pulleys isn't exactly rocket sience (made a set of aluminium pulleys for a gmc drill press because the old plastic ones had had it)
i'm going up to the place thats selling them to have a good look on thrusday
initially i need it to mill out some cavities for form a two piece casing for some dataloggers i'm doing,
i'm curious has anyone had any experience with this particular one or similar
do they have any serious problems?
has it been reliable?
has anyone converted one of these to cnc? any problems?
anything i should know that the salesmen isn't telling me that i should know about before parting with the cash
