I am looking at getting a CNC plasma table for the educational institution where I work. Any recommendations?
max size would probably be 4x4' we don't have much room for more than that. I have perused some of the offerings available, but don't really know where to begin because there is so much out there.
Money may or may not be an issue, so I'm interested in some quality options, both low and high priced. I don't mind a kit that I have to spend a day bolting together if it has high quality components that won't wear out and break in short order.
I have seen a few machines that can take a router head also and be switched over to do CNC routing of wood/MDF/acrylic, having a more versatile machine, even if it is not the fastest thing on the market would be interesting.
My main interest is that I already have a ton of equipment to maintain, so I am looking for something reliable and well made, with good availability of replacement parts if anything breaks/wears out.
we currently have a thermal dynamics powermax 1000G3 machine with manual torch, and would be looking to adapt that for use with a machine torch on this CNC system.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
