I am looking at the Pro 4x8 machine with Nema 34 and 2.2kw spindle upgrade ... comes to under 11K with those options. I'd rather spend just as much as I need but resale value might have an influence on that.
I'm building a boat, 77 foot catamaran, and I have to fabricate a whole bunch of direct-to-female molds many of which can be dissasembled. I plan to spend the first 6 months to a year just building the tooling and smaller components. I expect I will cut hundreds upon hundreds of parts from 3/4 mdf.
Will this machine hold up? Anyone have personal experience with them? How many passes to cut through 3/4 mdf? Any information, suggestions?
Thanks for your help
... here is an idea of the type cuts I will make
