tom thanks for inviting me to this forum, the look and members seem very sincere and professional, you have visited my shop and seen my machines and output so there is little i can add here, look forward to seeing you again soon, i am headed to dall…
Hey Dave,
Wow, I don't envy you your time in this evolution. I am there myself, and have been beating myself up on all the same issues. You may be looking at a machine that is way beyond your needs at this point. Look at Camaster, talk to Joe Jarra…
James ,you are so right , If you have lots of time / money and most of all a hole lot of Patience ... maybe! ask me
Hey everyone,
I guess we have all been frustrated by the need to use and the bucks to pay problem when it comes to software. But let's face it,if your going to be competitive in today's market you absolutely must find a way to do things faster and w…
Hi Tom
If you want to learn all about the technology involved with CNC routers, we have published a book called "Understanding CNC Routers". As we are an independent research organization dedicated to wood products, you can be assured that the info…

I am 63 years old, have a 13 man shop, and until last fall, did everything manually. One of my sons left my business 4 years ago and went into the cabinet business on his own. His first purchase was a Komo router. He could do as much cutting, bo…
Tom- Try to avoid people who do not own and run a CNC. Contact manufacturers only for names of CNC owners in your area. Talk only to people who have had their machine less than three or four years or the word dont make sense. Talk to people who are…
Hi Tom,
I would urge you to take a close look at ShopBot...their recent hook up with Thermwood and eCabinet software is awesome! If you are not familiar with eCabinet... until now you could design with it but only cut cabinets with a Thermwood CNC..…
Hi Tom,
I'm a dealer that sells cnc here in New England and Techno being a line we offer.
In this class of router, I think the most important attributes to look for in a decent router are:
AC servo drives( vs. stepper motors) for best cut quality…
Tom,
I have a ShopSabre 4896 w/5 tool changer. The ShopSabre folks have been good to work with on support issues, but the setup and learning curve were significant. Techno and ShopSabre seem to be in the same league. For a one man shop, they are pri…
Thanks Ralph, I guess most of my questions have been answered by the the knowledgable group who have taken time to give their points-of-view. I sincerely thank each of them for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their experiences.

I started working with CNC machines back when I had to write my own G-Code! Since then, I have programmed them, run them, sold them, installed and repaired them, and trained programmers and operators. I've worked with a half a dozen brands and at le…
I am a part-time, one man shop and recently purchased one of the $40K varieties of CNC. It would be hard to justify this kind of investment if it didn't use it to do some things that are next to impossible by hand. (Anything can be done with jigs, b…
I have ran and programed CNC machines for about 8 years now.There are several different name brands out there , and they all have good points & bad points.It depends on what you want to accomplish. You could go Nested Base which will almost make a t…
Thank you all for the great imput. Now comes the task of finding the right machine to not only do what I want it to do, but without breaking the bank. I am not one who thinks a machine like this is the answer to eternal happiness, but in the few pro…
Thanks larry. I know the tool nut sickness very well and your financial advise is sound. Thanks again.
