Hi all,
I am about to purchase my first CNC machine. I will be building primarily guitars and other instrument related items.
I was considering the Laguna IQ base model, which would run about 7K.
However, last week my friend told me his coworker was selling a six month old ShopSabre 23 due to needing a bigger machine for his business. The ShopSabre has an upgraded 3.7HP spindle, a slightly larger table and comes with a Oneida dust collector. It would also cost 12K for the machine, slightly used.
Do you guys think the ShopSabre deal is worth almost spending double than the laguna, especially for a first CNC machine?
I am at a point in my life where investing into tools that will last a long time is feasible.
any response and insight will be much appreciated!
thanks
