Heres another thread regarding excitech machines,
Again a few posts deleted, lol.
Note the US sellers site mentioned halfway down page 2.
The guy seems keen for people to have a look the machines
so maybe helpful for local Wisconsin people to see the machines.

Ive been told my SHG0609 machine will be in New Zealand this year! sweet!
Pretty confident it wont have plastic gears now, based
on some more recent posts.

Cheers
Lee

Dougie, This is great news. You must have been a bit nervous during those 2 hours. When our forklift lifts heavy loads off of trucks i can hear it struggle and i know that it is rated at 2 tonnes but i still panic everytime.
This info is most important to us all. It tells me that we had better hire a truck with a hi-ab ( truck mounted crane ).

You have just confirmed everything that Scott and Jimmy have written about these machines. I am so glad that you are thrilled with your purchase.

Thanks for taking the time to let us all know and we look forward to seeing your photos.

Good on ya mate!

Rocket.

G`day leef, I remember that you and howzat ordered your machines about the same time. howzat is expecting his machine late this week. If you check out " shipping schedules " on google, you will see that a lot of the ships from China go to New Zealand via Australia. Hopefully your machine is on the same ship that howzat`s was on, and you will have it soon.

That is the first time that i have read that thread that you put up. I wonder how TigerTec are going now. David sounds like a decent person so i hope he is doing well.

Carvinmarvin was the person who suggested that his machine had plastic gears. He seems to have disappeared since Scott and Jimmy posted their experiences with these machines. I still have no idea whether he had a genuine grievance or he was just trying to derail this thread.

I think that you have every reason to be very confident that you made a good choice of machine, and i hope that you and howzat post some photos of your routers and tell us all about your experiences with them.

Regards, Rocket.

i am close to my machine choice and saw your last thread

i had a long conversation with dave of tiger cnc today as well as another buyer for camaster today i strongly encouraged the new buyer to look seriously at doing business with camaster and i believe he is coming to look at it.

dave of www.tigertec.us and i have mutual friend and business contacts here in the us and he checks out fine some one needs to grab the tiger by the tail and market these things better websites referrals parts shown on line for purchase and readiliy available

some ones is going to do that and i believe the glenns of camaster are of just the right size to help the cabinetmaker or sign maker (dont you just love the trades) thanks

i would hate to think some one would really try to derail such an anonymus
opportunity with out any truth to his or her claims

i believe he acttually said he had the router at one point

but if it walks like a duck

Hi cabnet, You are throwing a few curve balls.

Last night it looked like being Techno. Nearly bought one of these ourselves, but it just got too expensive for us in Australia. No doubt they are excellent machines.

My guess is that you will go with camaster? Probably due to the after sales support from Bill and Josh.

Have to go to work now. Back later.

no it never was techno
the reason for that was the techno book online it is full of good info and
there parts catalog is top notch

on the machine i will buy i have been approved to buy a machine as of today
and i have an oppurtunity to get a used machine from a source i know and trust well will give you guys all details once the "fat lady sings" i am selling some saws and equipment on ebay and bidding stops soon

Got a reply from sh-cnc saying none of their gears are plastic on any of their routers. Looks like that poster was trying to get you to buy another brand....

[cabnet636]

G`day howzat, any news on the arrival of your machine?
What sort of things are you going to make with it?

I had a good look in another section of the forum which shows some good examples of things that people have made. It is in the Programming and Design area. Vectric software. Thread is titled " v carve gallery " by dighsx. Might be worth having a look at it if you have not seen it yet.
