Hello Forum,
I am taking delivery on a New Techno-Isel Model 130 CNC Router with travels of 4' x 4' x 12" in Z I purchased after a long period of looking at different models. I selected the Techno becasue I felt it offered the best quality/price of all the ones I looked at. Servos on all axis, aluminum t slot table, ball screws, I also purchased the 3hp higher-end variable speed router (6-18K) with sealed bearings.
I purchased primarily for hobby reasons, although I have had a few people request if I can do machining for them. A few of the applications include:
Aluminum molds, graphite electrodes (messy work), and wood patterns.
A couple questions......
My immediate conclusion is that I can take the pattern work, that's a no brainer, however, what about aluminum molds? Will this be do-able? And for that matter, will I be able to cut detailed graphite electrodes and hold decent tolerances? (I do have a good industrial vacuum system)
Thanks to all, great forum. I look forward to contributing to it.
