Hey all. I have a small one man shop doing cnc milling and manual lathe work to support my custom car shop. However the two year long builds ive been on are finishing up soon and i would like to make the transition into a bigger cnc for production work. I only need to generate 48 hrs a month to make my bills. I can swing a 600/mo payment and it looks like that will get me into roughly a 30-40k machine. So what am i getting and why. My lathe handles everything I throw at it but the little mini mill i have isnt cutting it at 7.5in/min and its limited 1200 rpm spindle. So far I really like the look of a tormach 1100mx. I could go with a smaller tormach as I do have all the tts tooling currently but a bigger spindle and an actual taper seems a better option. Any other good options in that price range??? Haas toolroom or mini mill or a used vf??? Planning on doing aluminum primarily and some steel as well. Best company for financing??? The tormach is appealing as I dont have a forklift nor ceiling height for one and it seems manageable without one. Single phase or under 10hp 3 phase. (20hp rotary phase converter)
