Sixx Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Man, I want that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I"ll probably have to get a home equity loan!!!!
kenb Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 List price $7995.00 and that's without software. Add another $300.00 - $700.00 for software. I have less than half that in a 12X20 lathe and a medium sized milling machine, not cnc though. Bet you could produce some nice parts with that. Ken

Chuck Most Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 If I had eight grand floating around in my couch cushions, maybe...
MachinistMark Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Acceptable material Resins such as chemical wood and modeling wax (metal not supported) i bet itd do aluminum, but still 8 grand for something that wont cut metal?
Art Anderson Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Sheesh, just the thought of a machine weighing 144lbs on my desktop? Hang the price, gotta think of the floor load.
Chuck Most Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I weigh a bit more than that, and I've used my desk as a step stool more times than I care to recollect. It's all about how that weight is distributed. Or something.
Mooneyzs Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 That is totally cool. If I had the extra money I would consider but with a 8 grand price tag.... yeah out of my reach...lol That make a mini lathe and mill look much more reasonable.
MachinistMark Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 smithy's makes one that sells for 12,995 BUT it has a 3 hp spindle motor and comes with software. so, yeah MUCH better value for the money.
Dr. Cranky Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I'm sure they will come down in price by 2050!
MachinistMark Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 or for a cool 450k you can have one of these bad boys Used to run one, it is a very awesome piece of kit.
kenb Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 You got to watch this. CNC at it's finest. it's 2 min 32 sec long. Just watch it. Ken
bill w Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Yes, a lot of airbrush people get vinyl stencils cut at sign shops. They have good equipment, all you need is a computer file. Or you can buy a vinyl cutter. Depending on how much detail you need, a descent one starts about $1,200.00. Bill
