I have searched CNCzone for hours and haven't been able to nail down a solid choice as to the best starter machine for my needs. All the input you guys could provide would help greatly. I have hand machined for a few years and am ready to dive into computer numeric control. Below are some of the requirements for my application.
$10,000 budget
As user friendly as possible
240 volt max
Liquid cooling
Threading/tapping capable
Metals to be machined: aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel
3 axis with as much X,Y,Z travel as possible
I will be using bobcad & solidworks for cad & cam.
Thank you for your suggestions & recommendations .
