Debece CNC Router I am interested in any reviews or comments regarding the turn-key CNC Routers from Debece. Their home page says they are distributors for a German company. Does anyone know if Debece is the name used in Gemany? Price seems good, but I haven't found any other info on them. Website is sparce.

I will look at them, but have local opportunity on Debece.
I am a small business that produces a model ship kit. The name of my business is Lauck Street Shipyard, LLC. I currently use a MaxNC router mill to cut out parts for the kit. Three months ago I ordered the debece mill from Dimitrios Buechler and never received the mill. I have paid in cash, $7976.00 to this individual and yesterday when I demanded a refund I was told that by Mr. Buechler that he could not refund my money because he did not have sufficient cash to do so. He could not give me a difinitive deliver date on the mill and he has given me the run around for several months as to delivery of the mill.
I strongly advise that no one purchase any equipment from this business. I have reported this fraud to the Florida State Police as well as the FBI, Internet Crimes division.
Thank you,

Debece machine comments I started this thread. I bought a Debece router DTR200S which had several options and came with the Kress routing motor off of E-Bay. Original owner ended up changing jobs and couldn't pursue it.
Machine appears very well made. Mounting of the Kress motor is very stable. One strange thing in the construction is that each of the axis stepper motors are physically different size and voltage. All steppers are Nanotec; y is ST5818M3008 2.1 v, x ST5818L3008 3.1 v and Z is St4018M1206 3.7 v. Another quirk is that it connects using the serial port. Did come with dust collection housing for the tools.
It comes with prepackaged software called WinPC-NC that has no CAD functions. It is from Germany and very popular there. English instructions came with it.
Now for my experience. From the beginning I have had problems with the relationship between the software units and files used with it. I have bought and created G-code files from Mach II, BobCAD and Rasterfratz. Since the software can read hpgl, I also have tried Corel.
Even when the input g-code or plt files are created with metric units, the router software reads it differently. I need to increase scale by 3 to 5 times in order to get the original size and even then it is a guess.
Even without loading a file and running the machine in manual, travel in an axis is not the same as the screen units. For example, I manually move 1,000 units in x or y and then measure it at 93 mm. The machine is set in metric mode when I do that.
I am looking into replacing the stepper motors and controller in order to use another control software so I can cut what I see.
I have talked several times with Dimitrious, but between his heavy accent and my limited machining knowledge the problems were not resolved.
I should keep the steppers, they will run great with a Picstep or another OS controller in combination with Mach2/3.
At least that's my experience with the nanotec st57 series.

Hello evryboody on this very interesting forum.
I'm new in this and a want to learn. In this moment
I'm interestin for debece cnc. I need some tehnical information about this machine. Please help me!
If you are new to CNC like I was then I would point you to another complete system. The machine performs well, but has some peculiar features.
The methods that is uses are very common in Europe. It uses a serial interface that does not allow directly use of Mach2/3, BobCAD or other CAM software. It is designed for use with Corel and HPGL plotter files.
It took me some time to figure out how to use BobCAD and Mach2/3 for creating G-code. Each time I have to go into Wordpad and change some things. The code for taking the Z axis to position and between cuts needs to be modified.
There is a nearly identical machine being sold on E-Bay. Big difference is the use of two stepper motors for the X axis instead of the cogged belt to connect them on mine with a single stepper motor. The E-Bay machine ships from Germany and includes the same software - Win-PC/NC. There is no CAD function with the software.
I called once (to Debece USA) for some help on distance per revolution and was told not to exceed 20 mm /second speed when cutting. Specifications for many other machines are faster.
My machine came with no manual or documentation at all. Only a help file for the software.
Best of luck.
Thank You for your answer to me, please tell me what another comlete system is better forme. I work my 3d models in Solidworks and ArtCam. What
is better solution for me.
Thanks again for help.
In Germany they have web site www.team-haase.de. They don't give any of
specification for machine.
The USA Debece is nearly identical to the following E-Bay store
http://stores.ebay.com/CNC-Frasmasch...C-Frasmaschine
I see they have parallel port connection and twin X axis steppers.
Same software as with Debece. The Kress router is awesome.
Lot of data at the E-Bay site. Send them email about the software input you want to use.
