Looking for a CNC machine... few questions

[Draken17]

I've been tasked to find my company a decent cnc machine and hoping I am in the right area to post. We will be milling out some parts that are anywhere from 3in x 3in x 6in up to 6in x 12in x 3in aluminum. I was looking into getting the https://www.tormach.com/product_pcnc_1100.html as we are on a pretty tight budget. Are there any other machines out there in this price range or lower? We will need 3 axis and a table of at least a 30 inch table. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Hi.
I have had a Tormach PCNC 1100 for a year now. I just cut 304 stainless steel flanges 1" thick with no problem. I bought the machine for the same reason you are looking. a capable machine machine without spending a lot of money.
Hope this helps.

thank you for the input, what program are you using to transfer your drawings to the machine?
