Default CNC routers?

I am a sign shop looking to get a cnc router. I want to cut out shapes and do 3D carving.

What is the best kind off cnc to get?

I am looking at Techno Inc. or Multicam.

these are both kinda expensive units but I want to buy one router in my life if possible. it has to do anything I want to cut and has to be efficient and last. I would love to hear from anyone on sugesstions as to what to get. also what type of shop you own and how busy has the router kept you.

THanks

also I want a 4x8 min table

HI kustomkoncepts

You may want to take a look at the link below, also you can find many on eBay that are the right price..new and used.....

I have the carvewright machine, but it will only go to a max of 15" wide.
It's a great machine for the price

No it is the actual brand

it is a 4'x8' Plasma/router cnc machine for about $15,000

it can be converted to cut wood or metal what ever tool you have in it.

I was wondering how many people on here use a cnc router. I can't afford the 30,000 Multicamm 1000 like I want but the plasmaroute is a good starter cnc. also what 3D software do you guys use? thanks Jeremy

You really mustn't post things like that, Bj. is a sucker for new exiting big boys toys and I bet he's attempting to strike a bargain at this very moment!

Change of plans Anyone heard of Shop Sabre out of Elmo, MN

its a 4x8 steel welded frame, 4HP mitsubishi spindle, Servo Motors, tool measure tool, limit switches and more they do kinda trick you on the sight a 4x8 looks like it is $12,995 but that is the top table you need the pedistal, spindle, and a plethera of other things I am up to $23,000.
