Hello All,
I am looking to purchase a CNC Mill for our R&D facility. We would like at least a 4 axis Mill with something around a 12" working area. We machine all sorts of materials from stainless to plastics. The machine is not planned to be used for production, mostly one-off's.
We use Solidworks around here so it would need software that is well matched.
I only have about a $50k budget which would need to include a good majority of the tooling.
I've included a link to a new machine I was browsing. It looks like its about ~$20k. It would probably be suitable but seems a little undersized/underpowered. It would probably fine, but my budget would allow for something bigger/better maybe even with a 5th axis...(?)
Some options and advice would be greatly appreciated. Maybe a used Haas....
Best,
Dan
