General Mach Discussion / Newbie wanting advice on buying a cnc router

« on: September 09, 2010, 09:04:50 AM »

Help! Been looking at various cnc routers on the net and found a site in Hong Kong selling cnc routers. Wanted to know if anyone has had experience with these machines and how user freindly they are? I'm an absolute newbie, my only experience with cnc routers is watching them at work. The website is http://www.iehk.net/Products/CNCIEC1212.html. They offer the Mach3, Artcam software with the machine at USD3,500.00 and a probe 3D scanner at USD1,000.00
We plan to manufacture fibreglass components from fibreglass sheeting laid up to spec and then cnc routed. The components have 3D profiles and my other concern is can this machine do 3D?
Am I biting off more than I can chew? Any comments and advice will be welcome, maybe someone out there can recommend a more suitable machine?
