It has to be new and cheap, CNC, 3 axis, with an x travel around 1500 mm, 0.02 mm precision.
What kind of machine do you recommend to keep the price as low as possible and still do a decent job: knee mill, gantry with moving table or else ? I don't think that the budget would fit a VMC, considering the x travel.
If anyone could recommend a specific machine (chinese for my budget?) I would appreciate.
I jhave already asked for a few quotations, but I would like to learn from others experience prior to buying.
The budget is around 20000 Euro without tools, maybe more for a very interesting machine. Possible ?Thanks in advance.
(The dies will be used for metal sheet processing, I am also thinking about making some parts, short runs and not mass production)
