Hello all.
We have been looking into the X3 type mills for a while and have settled on the NM-135.
I spoke with John, (the owner of Novakon), and Kai, (their sales rep), today to hash out the details of the order.
Our order is as follows:
1 NM-135 CNC mill
1 CD 100 4 axes controller, (this is their upgrade controller with 4 G203V's)
1 4th axes upgrade with rotary table, (this is going to be awesome)
1 coolant system
Bob CAM
Mach 3
1 year warranty
Shipping to our location in Seattle Washington ($700)
The guys were great to talk to and answered all of our questions.
The CD 100 controller comes in a rugged PC case and can be bundled with PC components in the same package. The end user also has the option of adding their own PC components to the controller housing.
The Bob CAM, and Mach3 comes shipped on a thumb drive. I thought that this was a creative idea and gave me a bit of a laugh.
The rotary table is going to open up many doors for us. I can't wait to mess around with it, however I have no idea what I am doing.
These guys are great!
I'll post many pics and vids of the process.
