Then read my posts again with the understanding that my main issue with the machine is that it doesn’t have an ATC. I mainly cut 3/4” Baltic Birch plywood with a 1/4” compression bit at 250-300 ipm in 2 passes for the 3/4” plywood. If I wanted to go shallower I think I could easily push the machine to 600 ipm. I could also potentially push it to 4/500 ipm with the 2 passes I do but don’t feel the need to push my machine because I simply can’t keep it busy with my business right now and probably won’t for several years. But as it is the machine works great and is making me money. I don’t have any regrets in purchasing but because of the ATC, I wish I had bought the Camaster. Based on what you’re discussing, I think the machine would work great for you. Not sure which machine of similar cost at that size would do any better unless you get lucky and find a used machine but then good luck if you have any issues. CNCRP stand behind their machine and are very helpful before and after the sale.
