Minimax C26 combination machine

[ed vitanovec]

I have been interested in this small Minimax C26 combo machine. I do not find any personal reviews out there for this model. Does anyone have one and could tell me lkkes, dislikes, quality. I know Minimax has quality machines but this model just has no info on it. Not much help from Atlanta off as I tried to visit when I was in the area to maybe see one in person. Took a week for a returned phone call and opportunity was gone, they do not have one on display. I hope someone does have one to share their ownership experience with.

Ed, SCM Group's Atlanta showroom rarely has combo machines on display. The showroom is primarily geared toward CNC and other advanced machinery. Also, we do a pretty brisk business in combo machines so even if there are plenty in stock, they're usually crated, in the warehouse. Here are some videos and blogs about the C26 Genius if you haven't found them already...

I know that you and I have spoken a number of times over the years. There may not be a C26 close to you but I used one myself and am glad to answer any questions about it.
