I been reading all the posts on the forum and am trying to make a decision on purchasing. As some general thoughts, does anyone wish that they had spent a couple thousand more and bought a bench top cnc router? Do you feel restricted with the software? Has the motor had the power you anticipated?
I run a $100,000 5 axis Motionmaster at work, and have a laser engraver already in the home shop so I am not intimidated with CNC. I look at the 2 grand price and can justify that amount to have some fun, but have been looking at some benchtop machines. With them I can add a 4th axis for engraving and carving pens, but I don't want to spend so much computer time designing.
I sure would appreciate some feedback from owners on your experiences and your thought process on making the purchase. Anyone in Illinois that I could visit running a machine? Thanks, Rich
