Hi
Thanks for the advice. The Jcut what sort of prices are these? I've taken a look but it seems you have to enquire.

Thanks

What you want is a very strong frame cast iron or aluminum. A spindle that runs at 40,000 or higher 100,000 is better. No run out air bearings. Software that is easy to use - in English. Ball screws are ok if high quility. My machine is J-Cut I have had it for 5 years, runs and works good. Copper cam is the best iso software to isolated traces. Buy the full version it's around 150. May of the other programs are junk.

Good luck, Boots-2b1

Are any of those Chinese ones on eBay any good?

Hi all

I wanted to reach out to those far more experienced than I am. I'm looking at purchasing at a cnc circuit board milling machine . I know there's plenty to choose from but I wanted a good priced well made machine.

If anyone can offer any suggestions on this as I don't want to waste any money.


Thanks in advance
