No luck whatsoever. I've tried contacting them by email and telephone too, I've even tracked down his home number which goes unanswered as well. He probably has caller identity and can see where the calls originating from and ignores it. My route now is to recall the funds I sent him via my bankers. They checked with his bank and Macnc's bank account is still operational and not under any restrictions, so they're still effectively trading. He has to sign off on the recall so if his bank comes back and says that he's not contactable then there is probably a reason why he's not contacting us back, but if the bank comes bank to me and says that he's refusing to return the funds then we'll know something is up. My route then is to see the American Embassy and I know they're very sensitive about online fraud originating from the USA.

I've even contacted his neighbours in McQueen street and no one has actually heard of him or Macnc, so wondering if they actually exist anymore or if it's just a telephone line/email that they're operating from?

The part you're looking for, you tried taking the broken part to a machine shop and asking them to make up a duplicate?

Feeling nervous too, enquired online about a minimax router and had quick responses from Chris but once I paid the deposit haven't been able to get him to reply to emails or messages. Tried phoning from South Africa (9 hours ahead) and if I phone in the morning I can leave a message but by lunchtime the message box is full. The following morning I'm able to leave a message again so someone is cleaning out the message box and just not bothering to reply. If this is the type of support one receives when you're enquiring about the status of your order, heavens forbid I have a problem with the machine.

Suppose they're only after the "new" business and once they've got your money you can just join the queue. Yes lets hope they're on holiday and they're back to answering the phones and trading again on Monday, as opposed to having shut down, otherwise I'm going to have to see the American Embassy here and lay a complaint about some dubious online trading!

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?
