Generally speaking, there is a lot of risk involved in purchasing a cheap CNC machine. CNC machine at different price points have different aspects in terms of cutting performance, production efficiency, etc. Generally, we don’t recommend buying CNC machines at too cheap price.
Problems you may face when buying cheap CNC machine:
- Poor cutting performance. Cheaper CNC machines can usually only handle materials that are easier to cut. Therefore, it is not perfectly compatible with all CNC machining materials.
- The machining accuracy is low. Part tolerances are the primary concern of most customers. From the accuracy of the parts, you can judge the quality of a factory’s CNC machining capabilities. This is also the decisive factor in whether buyers of CNC parts will continue to order products from your factory in the later stage.
- Machines can develop minor problems and are constantly in need of repairs. The maintenance cost of CNC machine is very expensive, not to mention the accumulated costs many times. Instead of this, it is better to buy a brand CNC machine with quality assurance.
- No after-sales service or bad after-sales experience. low price CNC machine generally do not have after-sales service. If there is a problem within less than 3 months of purchase, you have to consider yourself unlucky.
- Low resale value. There is also a hidden risk of buying cheap CNC machine that they cannot be resold, because no one may buy them, or you need to sell them at an ultra-low price, after all, the used CNC machine will be greatly discounted.
- Inexpensive CNC machine tools may have systems that lack the ability to check programs. If there are unknown programming and setting errors, accidents are likely to occur after the machine is put into operation.
These are 6 reasons why we don’t recommend buying a cheap CNC machine. Rather than buying a cheap and terrible CNC machine, it is better to cooperate with a CNC machining factory. We provide precision CNC machining services to various industries around the world and can manufacture various non-standard parts according to drawings.
