Does anyone here have much experience with the newest CNC machines used for milling
wood, composites, plastics and soft metals? I see that Powermatic has entered into the market
not sure if I am willing to drop that kind of money yet, but would like to get into a hobby grade or
smaller production type unit. I noticed that some of the systems are using routers that also hold
lasers and 3D printer heads, tempting to go in that direction to allow for the potential need. Some
of these systems also expand into a 4th axis and 5th axis which is similar to a lathe spindle rotating
the billet as the cnc cuts the item.
