I know, another "recommend me a machine'' thread, apologies in advance.
I am nobody special. I got into CNC because I build my own parts for racing and I currently have a 2000 VF2 in my shop. It's nothing special but has treated me pretty well and I'm looking for something a little bigger, faster, etc.
I deal almost primarily with 2xxx,6xxx, and 7xxx series aluminum with a little titanium. 80/20 I'd say. I do quite a bit of surfacing and a lot of material removal on parts under 30", but would like a larger machine.
I see a need for a 5th in the future, so that would be a consideration later down the road as well.
My machine budget is 125k, and I'd like to get an idea of what you'd all recommend.
I've talked to brother, Doosan, and okuma thus far.
Thanks all.
