I am looking to invest in a metal finishing machine. We have a tumbler and multiple sanders, but I feel that we are spending more time than we need to.
We have a fiber laser, waterjet, and mills. Lathe too, but I don't think a finishing machine will help us. Thicknesses range from 20 gauge to 2" thick. Sizes range from 2"x2" to 50"x30".
Ideally, I want someone to be able to put a milled, waterjet, or fiber lasered part in one side of the finishing machine and spit out a ready to use or ready to powder coat on the other side.
What should I buy? What should I expect to spend for this?
