Well, I voted CAMaster - because I own one. I can tell you that when Phoebe (my router) arrive home, she was essentially ready to cut. The frame was solid welded steel. The gantry was on, aligned and...
Btw - I run a stinger II and they're awesome little machines.
The language mostly used is G-code... but you don't NEED to know G-code. It is useful to be familiar with it, but most of the work is done in the cad/cam software - the cad is the design and cam is...
I had a similar issue when I got my Stinger II - and it wasn't CAMaster's issue - it was the shipping company's. The size and weight were clearly printed on the shipping manifest as well as the fact...
I have to go with James on this one - welded steel frame - all rack and pinion drives and the same industrial build quality on the CAMaster CNC machines are hard to beat. You have systems from the...
The total sign is 4'x8' - the flag alone is about 5' wide.
I thought I'd give a little love to Phoebe (she's my Stinger II) and to CAMaster this today... This is on the front of my house.
That thing and Aspire... :-/
"For the money"... that's the rub. I mean you can dump 6 figures on a machine and do a lot or you can spend a couple thousand and accomplish nearly the same thing only slower and probably not nearly...
Well, I can speak a little for the cabinetpartspro - I'm just getting into the CNC side of things and I need to build a few cabinets for my own shop. CPP will let you design and build your cabinets...
Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree you've got a nice machine and it's WAY too far into it to even try and change your mind. My purpose in drawing the comparison wasn't for you nearly as much as for...
I'm not sure what you mean by no table... no aluminum t-slot table?? The stinger does comes with a sealed MDF table.
Also, the stinger does come with cut-2d... not to mention the full PC loaded...
Andy - just out of curiosity... I'm wondering about an apples to apples comparison. I'm curious of how much you will have into this, after the mechanical parts, electrical, computer, software -...
Keith - thanks - my stinger should be here Thursday and your advice has been invaluable.
Keith, quick question for you (and I'm sure you've answered this elsewhere but I haven't found it) on your ADA signs, do you use the balls, or do you route the dots with a rounded edge? I know you...
That's why everything I do comes with the sales pitch of, look dear - see what I can make for you!!!
Perhaps - if the resources are in your house and I'm trying to tell you how to use them...
Mike, the thing to remember is that up until the Civil War all rights belonged to the States except those granted to the Federal Government according to the 10th Amendment. The United States were...
Just a quick note - a modern example of what I'm talking about is sawstop- one side is arguing for safety - the other arguing for free market capitalism - one side accusing the other of wanting...
Just real quick - first of all, the victors always write the history books. If the south had won, we would be reading about the second American Revolution instead of a war about slavery. Second, has...
Kieth,
I'd love to see it, unfortunately I'm working and couldn't make it... anyway, one thing I've done for a soap making lesson was to break the presentation down to ~10 min segments and post...
Well, I'm in the process of buying a ~$15,000 CNC machine with the indexing lathe and all that... and that said, if I woke up and decided I wanted to make those parts, I wouldn't do it on a CNC...
Well, I would do a simple breakdown of cost based on what I want to do.
First you have your CAD/CAM software - Aspire is about 2 grand by itself if bought separately. But that will give you the...
If you're looking at a larger build, take a look at mechmate - free plans, forum for a larger steel machine. I haven't looked in years, but they had sources for all the parts and even sources for any...
