    Default "Best" High End OEMs?

    I've been given the opportunity to upgrade our first CNC router and this time around the budget is much higher. I'm interested in all the belles and whistles, service, and of course reliability. So, which OEMs do you consider the "best"? I've heard MultiCam with AYZX as a close second?

    What's the application? Is your budget $150K or more?
    For cabinet work, all the Italian machines are at the top.
    Onsrud makes good machines.

    AXYZ would not even make the list.

    It might be helpful to have the OP's location.sometimes having the factory or an approved service engineer nearby can be a big advantage.A bit more guidance on the type of work being undertaken might also narrow the field as a machine for cutting signs might not need such things as aggregate heads for cutting hinge recesses or a fourth axis for making architectural columns.As ger21 says,the Italian machines are right up there and I would also suggest taking a look at Thermwood and Reichenbacher .

    We're a job shop, so the more we can do with a machine, the better. Wood, plastic, foam, rubber, and aluminum. Mainly 0.125" - 2" thick 4'x8' - 5'x10' sheets. Twin vacuum bed. We use smaller stock (e.g. 20"x20") for some more expensive materials like Delrin. We were thinking aluminum T-rails in a hybrid bed would help secure some of the smaller parts and aluminum. High speed spindle (20,000+ RPM), but we also need a good amount of low speed (4000 RPM) torque for drilling because drilling plastic at high RPM melts it. We have a Benz reciprocating knife aggregate for cutting foam, but I wouldn't mind a dedicated reciprocating knife on the machine.

    Budget is $150K - $350K.

    I'm located in Michigan. We do machine building as well, so we've managed to do a lot of the servicing ourselves.
