Importing machine from China
Gday gents,
I am looking into importing a 4 axis CNC from China and want to know if any of you have gone through this task?
The machine is a JOY-6090.
Anybody know anything about these machines?
cheers
Trevor

Hi Trevor
I can't help with any advice other than that I have seen quite a few 6090 machines, but this one doesn't look like any of them. It's an interesting and neat looking machine though. Some of the 6090's I've seen have been really good, some not so good, but more than anything it seems to be the electronics that is the major problem, if there is a problem.
Have you been quoted a price for the JOY-6090?
Cheers

Geoff,
Not sure if I am doing this right but here goes.
Yes I was quoted $4230.00 US inclusive of freight & insurance.
Just waiting on replies from import brokers as to the costs.
I do have a full size CNC actually made here in Perth but with no 4th axis .
cheers

Don't forget import duty.
Then add GST of the TOTAL amount including shipping and duty.Every day is better than yesterday

I like their Guarantee, you pay for a holiday for their engineer and they will supply the engineer for free.

In Qingdao, China, there are many CNC factories. Many mature technologies are common, but many basic things are often abandoned by the factory. For example, the most stable body, after exercise and sandblasting.I know double gates technology, only one factory can do it, so you need to understand.

Don't do it. Buy local. You won't save importing and then there's warranty issues.

Its daunting how what you can pick up on China and what the "offer".
My advice is consider the brand and support.
With the brand if you have a problem is the Joy commonly talked about on the forums?
I am with Geoff here, I cannot see what controller it uses or any of the electronics so if you run into issues what will you do.
Support locally can be hard and the quality of the support is measured on the ability of solving a customers problem. This is hard across languages, time zones and distance.
There is a lot more guys in Australia offering Small Format CNCs now. Google search "Small Format CNC".
If you have any questions in this regards, I am happy to help.

Those were the droids I was looking for.

Thanks for your contribution.
I believe the reason many hobbyist look at importing CNCs, is the cost of units in Australia. Most complete units seem to be around $10000 plus software. They most likely have better hardware but they are a bit exy for a hobbyist.
Base kits are better priced if you are prepared to supply and install the electrics and wiring yourself which is something I’m looking at.

I’d be interested in following your build. If you don’t mind divulging, who are you sourcing your frame extrusions from?
