Hello!
I am looking into buying a cnc milling machine and I have read many forums and data sheets to try and get the most for my money. I am new to milling. And new to CNCzone.com!
Is there a difference in performance between a ready made cnc machine like the KX3 and between a factory cnc converted BF20? (There is a German dealer who can make the cnc conversion when buying a new BF20/BF30/BF46 machine from them. I don't want to do the conversion myself.)
What I am also trying to figure out is if there is some "magic" going on in the ready made cnc machines that the converted ones don't have? Once converted they should basically be able to do the same things right?
I see that many ready made cnc machines have this "one-shot lubrication" systems. Do you need something like that for the BF20?
BF20L pros:
Large table and X-travel.
KX3 pros:
5000rpm and the price.
Price list:
The BFXX are all CNC converted and assembled.
BF20L (CNC kit with ballscrews + stand) ~6100 euro. ($8300)
BF30 Vario (CNC kit with ballscrews + stand) ~8500 euro. ($11500)
BF46 Vario (CNC kit with ballscrews + stand) ~10000 euro. ($13500)
KX1 with stand ~3300 euro. ($4500)
KX3 with stand ~4600 euro. ($6200)
Thank you!
