Woodworking CNC Reviews?

[jjackson30]

I am looking to buy a new CNC machine and am interested in feedback from anyone on the success and failures they have had with their machines. I am looking at the Weeke Vantage 36L. Is anyone using Morbidelli? Any help with any machine would be appreciated.

yes, they're all overpriced! LOL, just kidding. It seems to me that each has distinct advantages, more geared towards specific types of routing. What type of work will you be doing? I.E., what kinda parts do you want to cut? We have a Fulltech 5'X12' from Multi-Ax in Grand Rapids, MI, but it's a taiwanese machine. Don't let it fool you though. I would not disregard it because of that fact. These machines have OSAI controls, and very high quality electronics/pneumatics, and they're built like a brick you know what.

The other thing is, yes, we've had problems with ours, but usually one call and Jack or Jason come down and fix it. Really awesome support. We once blew the bearings out in our spindle, (i.e., I blew the bearings up), and Jack and Ed flew one in, met it at the airport, drove down, and had us running the next morning. No kidding, now that's customer support. This was after our machine was over two years old even!
