    Default CNC Router recommendation, budget is $10,000.00 for a turn key system

    Hello All,

    I am looking for any recommendations for a 4' X 8' CNC router for our High School theater department, the budget is $10,000.00 to be up and running. We are looking for 4' X 8' router without a vacuum table that runs on 120 volt or 240 single phase and I prefer to stay away from a liquid cooled spindle, the router would not see more than 100 hours of use a year. The only thing for sure so far is will be be getting RhinoCam and Aspire.
    I've been looking at the Gryphon CNC only because I looks like I could add a rotary axis to it fairly easily but it is very light machine, I'm thinking there has to be something out there in my price range that runs on linear bearings. I don't mind a kit router I just don't have time to build one from scratch.

    Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated,
    Bruce

    CNC Router Parts Pro series. $10K is a pretty low number for what you want.

    When you add electronics and spindle, it should be pretty close to $10K

    Can we ask what kind of materials you want work with the machine sir? because CNC machines` price varies depending on what task you want with the machine. is time not an issue? because you can buy a 4X8 cnc machine under $5K but a bit slower in motion due to smaller NEMA kits.

    99% of the material we cut it 1/4", 1/2", 3/4" plywood and 2" foam.
    Time is really not an issue, we always have a few months to get thing cut, right now we are able to use a local companies router but only when and if its available. I should take back the 100 hours of use, if we have our own router I can see us cutting a lot more 3D carvings in 4' X 8' sheets of foam. We don't need nor can afford a ATC but it would be nice if we could at least do manual tool changes.
    KHOUJ, what is this $5k machine you are talking about?

    Thanks

    Get 4 of this and hire me as your technical support/ installer/ technician/ programmer/ operator, You can start your product mass production in minutes, I can operate as much as 4 CNC units at the same time and more than happy to have $10/hour, no joke sir , I presume your products are basically just outlining jobs on wood.



    With a 3.2KW spindle on a 4X8 table I think you can mass produce tank parts on this hehe
