I need a light production cnc with 20" travel in X. I will be doing a lot of drilling in light aluminum so decent rapid moves would cut down cycle times. Other runs are some aluminum billet machining, no real tough materials.
I would like to spend $10000+- but need an easy turnkey. I like Microkinetics cnc express, IH turnkey, and smithy 1240 bed mills.
