when you say simple machine, thats kind of limiting. yes i can say a 1985 mill can do what you want, but im using surfcam, lots of money, and can the 1985 mill make it fast enough for you?, i think there is a soloution out there for you but i am not familiar with it-im tool and die.
i once used a "brother" mill, yes the typewriter ppl. it was small and fast, 10000 rpm, that could do what you want.
i think you want to go after the small cnc for what you wanna make, so "Brother" might be an excellent choice, hi rpm. hi rapid, ability to take a program feed from a PC, i know fanuc makes a Robotrol, guessing its more spendy, search for some brands, daewoo? and probably buy used to start.
hire a right hand man, to start out picking machinery, a 33% partner perhaps. someone who can get the job done. i cant train you to program in a paragraph, sry, i am not familiar with the brands you mentioned. GL |
