Is anyone familier with Dyna CNC?

[pecosjoe@yahoo.]

I'm looking at buying a Dyna CNC table top router for engraving and carving purposes. Is anyone familier with this machine? Do they have a good reputation? Is there any more affordable machine I could be looking at? The package cost< including a Computer,Software(Mach 3 & BobCAD,BobART)36"x36" table with 3" Z travel Axis is around $8800.00 Thanks JC

I am planning on buying one once funding comes in.

I spoke with the owner himself, he grew up locally and it seems as though they have the right idea. They over engineer their products and back them strongly, talk about customer service. I have heard nothing but promising feedback.

Did you request the DVD, its amazing.

I'm still getting the correct parts sent out and completing my driver wiring on the kit that i got from keling tech. I'll post pros and cons along with some pics when i get time. I'm also quite sure i'll have plenty of questions, this being a big project that is totally over my head.

Thanks for the reply. Yes , I got the DVD and spoke to the owner as well. I just wanted to here what there reputation was like. Thanks

I recieved my Dynacnc dec. 27 06. It is a 4x4 dual router plasma table. I am running PhotoVcarve on it without any problems that I havent been able to solve myself. Haven't done any plasma cutting on it yet,but that is next.I picked up my table myself and Steve Capp the tech support was very helpful.As Dynacnc is an open system the is no end of free tech support for everything on the web.

I ordered our machine just before christmas, It arrived the week of feb 9th. Some minor glitches in the geckodrives, but handled easily with the help of Mark in terch support. Still waiting on the 3-D software though, it was backordered. I will post again once the software arrives. BTW, we are a retail and commerical engraving shop, so this will be a major addition to our product line.

GEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Man!

CrashMasterKev you need to take a chill pillllllll.
I want to read about machines here not listen to cry babies. sssooooo you had some problems........don't care!

The man offered you your money back............take it and shut up man!

Dude......Your comments don't need to be here on this board! I don't own one of these machines but I can tell you this........

I am tired of reading your cry baby crap!

CrashMasterKev take it back to them I don't want to here about it. This site is educational to me but this crap is crap!

$2800.00 for a cnc machine......... wow. Where do I sign up! Thats a deal! I could see complainin on line if you spent like 20 grand for a machine or something, but 2800.00. you are kidding. Freom the sounds of your other posts....you don't know what you are doing! get an education and a life! chill and warm up to a nice warm cnc book and learn like most operators.......... The dude from Dyna sound like a pretty fair guy to me and you trash him on line ......bummer CrashMasterKev, dude you are the loser here.

advice: go somewhere else with your trash....

That was interesting!

I can see both sides on this one. I don't think Kevin is just "crying". He purchased a machine, concessions were made to appease a customer when delivery was obviously not going to be made. And then those concessions turned out to be unsatisfactory.

The other hand....dealing with the glitches in a company that cause you to be late. Going beyond your requirement of a contract to make up for a delivery issue...and having a customer upset with the quality of a free extended service.......Frustrating on both ends.

Business goes this way sometimes....you both have a goal...to make quality products for a profit......Why not send a tech to help Kevin get this machine set up so that it makes absolutley mint parts. Teach him a couple efficiency tips and watch him make perfect parts on a perfect machine.....then he will brag about your product to his network until his business expands and it's time to buy a new machine.......Full Price of course!

Guys, I can appreciate all your views, keep an eye on this post for my reply coming soon, and you’re right snuffy plaz, this isn’t the place for this crap, but I was never heard before when I tried to deal with this one on one with the manufacturer, so maybe he will try to help me now, I to hope that we can get all this resolved. Trust me I dont like this anymore than you do.

You can also post or pm me your email and I will email you .

Ok Dave, Maybe your right, maybe I did blow this out of proportion, but I feel like maybe your company never took it seriously enough when I contacted you about the issues we’ve been discussing here when they were fresh.

I understand completely, I have been in your position and that’s why I tried to forget about it and tried to make the best of a bad situation and just deal with what I have, that is until I saw someone inquiring about your company, in my opinion, I got burned and there was nothing that I could do about it, that is what a representative of your company told me.

Dave, I am an honest hard working person like yourself, and I swear to you Dave, I was never contacted about the ball screw issue, please show me your documentation that proves otherwise, you keep saying you can and I have yet to see it, I have saved all communications between your company and myself in both hard and electronic formats and there was no discussion that I wasn’t getting servos prior to receiving my machine so I would really like you to show me when that was because it’s not in my records.

I tried to remedy the situation as soon as I realized that what I got was not what I ordered and not what I paid for, and it was pointless, I was told I could send it back and eat the shipping both ways, Dave, I cant afford to eat $700.00 in wasted shipping costs, so, I decided I try to make the best of it, after all, I’m a reasonably intelligent person and there’s lots of people out there running steppers, so they can’t be all that bad, right?

Well, even with your configuration, standard screws and steppers, the machine is undependable, I have trashed hundreds of dollars in material and hundreds in broken bits due to missed steps, it only takes a few missed steps to trash a part or a tool, I have tuned the motors till I was blue in the face, and its better, but it’s still not right, it’s not what I bargained for, that’s why I wanted servos.

You may be thinking that I am a rookie, and that maybe this is all operator error, let me tell you something, it was about 10 years that ago I attended a CNC programming/operation course at Thermwood Inc., and yes, I have the documentation to prove it, Since that time I have been employed in various positions all related to the operation and programming of CNC’s and I have thousands of hours In my profession, I currently and daily use AutoCAD 2007, AutoDesk Inventor 11 and Planit Solutions AlphaCam V6 to program 4 busellato point to points and a CMS machining center, I feel very confident that I can handle the programming and operation of my DynaCNC.

With that said, I don’t feel that I know it all, but I feel that I stand as good a chance as anybody of being successful at programming and operating anything that anybody can throw at me in the world of CNC’s but I can’t seem to overcome the issues of the product I have purchased from you.

Ok, so, I just read the last couple posts and this is what I am thinking at the moment.

You know what Dave, snuffy plaz is right, we shouldn’t be discussing this here, this really isn’t what this forum is about, and I don’t feel that it is beneficial for either of us, especially you, to continue to do so.

So, Dave, if you would like to contact me at you earliest convenience, Monday or Tuesday would be fine, we can both put our pride aside and take care of business, I would be willing to try if you are.

And I believe that I have the solution to the problems I have been facing and you might be able to produce a better machine for your customers, and avoid issues like this in the future, we both win, I truly believe that I know what the problems are and it’s a fairly simple fix, you probably have the parts on hand, and you know that I am a very outspoken person, if we can get this fixed, I will tell the world that you helped me and you can feel even more confident in your products. WIN WIN situation. Give us a chance to fix this.

Now it’s your turn Snuffy plaz, as much as I don’t appreciate you calling me a crybaby, I see your point I respect it, and, I agree with you, this isn’t the place for this, BUT, I don’t think that you or anybody else here would be very happy in my situation, there is way more to my frustration than you are aware of, I tried to keep it simple and to the point.

What you have heard here just scratches the surface of how this purchase unfolded, think about it, if you spent your money, whether it was 3K or 300K and upon delivery it was not as you agreed upon, you’d be upset to, I kept my mouth shut here, maybe for too long, but it is what it is now, I hope we, that is, dynacnc and I can work this out.

Also I hope you read my qualifications, I have the books, the education and the experience to program and run just about anything.
And I’m glad you’re here, I think this is a great place for education, I have helped many people here and I have gotten help here, and maybe you can do the same someday, Welcome to cnczone, It’s too bad that you blew your posting “virginity” crying about me crying.
It’s all good dude, no hard feelings, I’ve been dealing with it so far and I will go on.
Hopefully we can work this out.
Have a good one.
