I contacted Mark Bombardo by phone and spoke for quite a while. I had decided to purchase the 48 X 48 machine. I ask him to email me a quote for the machine and options I wanted AND a couple of references. I explained I just wanted to talk to someone who was using the machine. That was 3/2/2004. I never heard from him. I called again about 3 weeks later and he said he would send the information I wanted. Well I have not received an email yet.

They do look like well build machines and to here Mark talk about them I would assume they are. I just can not let go of that much money with out checking it out first.

I gave up and decided to build. I bought big servos, ball screws, and rails and bearings. I am now in the process of changing the www.Data-Cut.com plans to fit the low cost rails and screws. May be I can get some pics on CNCZone before to long.

Give Mark a call and see what you think. Good luck!

Did you build the Data-Cut table and what do you think of the plans or any modifications that you have made?

hally ho! finally got my spindle back from repairs,$5000.00, their diagnose of the problem was the spindle try to change tools will running/spinning, which is what i personal watched it do, contrary to others have said it couldn't do and that SS said that they dont understand how that could happen.

when mine works, i still don't trust it, cutting solid wood is not a problem , it is all relative to cut depth and feed rates and type of cutter.

-----------------
we purchased our CNC machine year and a half ago. This machine does not cut circles or arches. The arches come wavy.

There are other problems with machine. We want to check if anyone else has any problems. Please call us at 301.330.9520 to compare the notes.

You all seem like knuckle heads... my ShopSabre has been no issue at all... learn how to the machine and I bet you dont have troubles... I ran bigger machines for my job and then bought this system because it is the only one that compared to what I run at my job.... I havent had any issues that arent a normal start up learning thing but once I actually LEARNED the machine which wasnt very long the table has been awesome... Ben in their tech department has been great and the sales guys knew there stuff... There is my opinion... ShopSabre is the best machine for the money... if you have lots of money then go buy something in the $100,000 range but for me out of my garage as a start up business this thing works well! Even after I have lots of money I think I will stick with the ShopSabre.

to cncuser51: for you to imply/state that my and other users are the root cause of our machine's problems , is incredibly stupid, therefore that must mean you are very stupid person. i challenge you to call and talk to Ben about a machine that is located in San Diego,Ca.

ps. respond if you must, i will not continue in these postings.

I am looking at purchasing a new CNC machine but am nervious about getting a 4'x8' machine like the patriot. I do occasionaly cut larger parts up to 5'x10' but dont have much experience with Shop sabre, laguna tools or patriot....

Anyone have feedback on these machines?

I'm also looking at these three machines and would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks!
