I am considering upgrading our sheet metal facility.
Currently we do everything by hand and subcontract laser cutting.
I was looking at CNC turret punches and came across a combined punch laser. Why would I need a CNC punch if I can LASER cut ??
What top ten tips are there for buying used sheet metal equipment. ( The budget won't run to new gear.)
We would want to work on 2.5mx1.25m (8'x4') sheets upto say 3mm stainless (also m-steel and aluminium.)
What should I expect to pay for a useable machine - nothing pretty or lightning fast but reliable and accurate.
thanks
Mark
