Hi Woodman,

I've been interested in getting a Gorilla CNC, especially since they are in Ontario~! (Me being in Quebec.)

How does the machine handle? What was the cost? Got any close photos of it's construction, is it a solid welded table or bolted together?

I have utube videos of it running and photos on this section.
So far i'm happy with it ,i had looked at some chinese stuff and got scared and then it came down to shop bot in the US or gorilla in ontario.
Its well built very heavy duty ,the gantry can pull you around ,it will not stall in a tough spot something else will give .
I bought the 4x8 version ,thought if i ever wanted to sel it would be popular,running it under mach3 with the vertor software package and corel 12 .
I am interested in 3d but not there yet because of the learning curve
If you need more info ,you can also call 519 396 8311 stan

A 4x8 including delivery, set up, training, software, the works is $23,995
for the Gorilla Pro. This includes spindle (3 HP water cooled) but the
customer can supply his own computer.

They can offer a 10% discount for an order received before March 31 but have
to stay pretty close to list after that.In april the gorilla production switches to general built in quebec
but prices are going up as general will be adding to the machine design

I've done some work with the Gorilla guys, and they're pretty straight shooters from what I've seen. Which makes them a bit more honest than 99% of people in the CNC router business, from my POV. I'm not saying they make the best machines out there, but I think they'll be more honest with you about what their machines can and can't do relative to your needs.
