Hi i'm new to CNC machining and I had a few question about purchasing machine (i'm going to start up an after-hour shop with possibly running a few job during the day while i'm at my other job):
1) how important are rapids when i notice that most feedrate are roughly the about the same (315 ipm) and the distance from point A to point B seem to be less than 12in on the farthest distance i need it to move?
2) are higher end machine like mori and okk really worth the price when i take a look of some of the taiwanese machine like litz (
http://www.litzhitech.com/) and twinhorn (
http://www.avtechmachine.com) where i can possibly get 2 spindles for about 1.5 the price of those guys?
