Hello Gurus/Friends,
I am planning to buy one small 900X600X150
Please find the below details and inline Questions
1). Working area: 600*900*150mm --
Q: I have attached a Relief, can I achieve this with this router?
[It's hard to say - what's the total depth? You probably can get most of the way there, but will have to add details by hand and do some sanding to remove toolmarks.]
2). Spindle: 1.5kw water cooling spindle
Q: I have very limited knowledge on China Made Spindle, any brand I should prefer or Water Cooled/Air Cooled?
[Air cooled is simpler. The kw ratings are about when the thing burns up. Working wattage is lower. Get the "2.2kw" spindle if you can.]
3). Control system: Nc-studio controller
Q: Any advice on Controller?
[That NC studio program is what most Chinese mills come with. Don't expect any support on it.]
4). Drive system: Leadshine stepper motors and drivers
Q: How is the brand Leadshine, the vendor also offering Leadshine Hybrid Servo with 300 USD more, please advice on brand on stepper / servo?
[Leadshine is a popular brand; you might be getting that or a clone - it's hard to say.]
5). Transmission: XYZ Taiwan TBI ball screw
Q: I believe TBI is best, how will i know they are giving original?
[You would have to trust them.]
6). Rail guide: round rail
Q: Should I go for Hywin, they are asking 200 USD more?
[Yes.]
7). Soft limited switch
[Soft limits are set in software. Hard limits require actual switches.]
8). Table: T-slot table
9). Inverter: Fuling inverter
Q: Any advice on Inverter?
[When you're done "Fuling" around, get a Hitachi inverter.]
10). Frame: Steel welding body
Q: They have two models JPM0609 and JPG0609 I have attached two pictures, can you please advice me the difference on quality of work with respect to relief I have attached, The components are same but weight wise its different. Which one I should go for?
The Price difference is 900 USD.
[The blue one looks better to me, because it has bellows to protect the Y axis.]
11). Tool sensor, Filter, Cast steel motor Box
12). Taiwan imported best bearing holder
Q: Please advice.
You guys are the expert, thanks a lot in advance for your time.
