Hi Jean,

I have purchased a 1220x1220 CNC from China. Just made the final payment. In a previous life I did a lot of importing from China and generally had a very good experience. There are always exceptions. It will take another 50 or so days before the CNC arrives in Ireland  but I'm very happy to share my experiences when it arrives. So far I have to say that there have been zero problems and they are in contact on a regular basis.

Suffice to say that the specification of the machine I'm going for is virtually the same as a full size 2440 x 1220 but smaller and I think (pretty sure) its the same manufacturer as the one Dan has but a 1/3 the price of an EU/UK/USA built machine, many of which are made in China and just relabelled. 

Unfortunately not in a position to comment on the machine as yet, but hopefully before New Year. 

 

Hope this kinda helps 

John

I have done some work with Volter machines made in the Czech Republic, they are very nice machines and available readily throughout Europe. If you get in touch with them be sure to mention that I sent you. 

They are a higher price in comparison to a Chinese machine but far superior in quality. That being said, I've been using my Blue Elephant CNC for nearly 8 years now and it's never missed a beat. John I think you will be please with yours when it arrives!

I bought my CNC from RatRig, a company based in Portugal. The overall quality is great in my opinion. The max. size of their RatRig Stronghold line is 1.500x1.500 mm. A rather unusual dimension in my opinion, I have the 1.000mm(width) x 1.500mm machine. When ordering youhave several options as to which controller, steppermotors, spindle.
