I've been following this forum for some time in anticipaton of buying a Chinese machine and would have thought that 1 or 2 manufacturews would stand out as more reliable than others.
It seems not. I conclude so far that you roll the dice and hope for the best.
It is a shame that none of the makers have realized that customer service wins.
I'm interested in this answer too, I have been reading and reading all the mixed reviews all over the internet for months and months, at present I am looking at ARFCNC : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/High-qua...e/173881403506
This machine is about the best I can find, and appears to have good hardware and reasonable electronics, at least a good base if I need to upgrade any of it's electronics..
There just aren't any comparable machines here in Australia, none with linear guide rails 2.2kw spindles decent Z travel and clearance.
