Wade,

The AXYZ is a great little CNC. We had one for 3 years. We got trained in one day, started cutting the next day, and that machine never skipped a beat.

We later bought another brand of CNC, which seemed a little heavier than the AXYZ, and have regretted it ever since.

Our AXYZ had a table capable of having two full sheets of solid surface material on it. It was approximately 6' wide and 13' long.

I'd get a tool changer, it really makes it quick when you need to change bits.

I'm sure others here will comment on their experiences too.

Thanks,

Len

Hey Len,

What type of suction did you use to hold product? The one we had at a place I fabbed at used a mdf board and hot melt. Is that the standard?

The AXYZ had a program which milled a table top, and it had a vacuum pump which pulled right through the machine top. No hot melt was needed.
