Thread: CNC at Hare and Forbes

Well, it's got a 1,000W spindle, so that's something. That said, looking at the bigger versions of the pics, you'd assume for $22K they'd try and get the letters of their web address on the front of the machine lined up.

It is only a 290x120mm machine

I think I can live without that one

Looks like it's from Sieg.
This model or one of it's variants.

Hmm. Same thing here costs only $11K inc.

AAHHHH
But they only have one.
At that price you would want 1/2 dozen

So its basically like my SYIL X4 shoved into a cabinet and has a 4th axis. Well my unit now has a 4th axis i suppose. A SYIL is about 8K nowadays, and when i bought mine, it was half that price.

Read the description carefully, you don't get the 4th axis (that's pictured) as part of the $22k, oh no, that's extra.

Well then, thats it, No 4th axis, I'm not buying it!!!! Even if they throw one in for good measure.

No, I'd only want six of them.

H&F are not to silly
I saw one of these out the back of H&F about 2 years back and when I ask about it there made to sell to the education department for tafe and high schools.
I can see a bureaucrat buying them by the tens
Now the pollys can say the schools have the most up todate gear................................................And YOU paid for it.........................
