CNC enclosure fabrication advice

on 2002-02-25 08:51:40 UTC
HI All -

I need some advice before I buy the wrong machine. I've been
looking for a decent 3-in-1 sheet metal machine, 30 inch capacity.
I'm currently looking at the Enco and Jet versions. I know the
Enco brand looks a lot cheaper than the Jet, and I've been warned
that they are flimsy. I also found out that the one McMaster-Carr
offers is the Jet. The Enco sells for $300, and the Jet is $580.
Is the Enco as flimsy as I heard, and is the Jet worth the extra
money?

TIA,

PS -

I realize this may be considered off-topic, and I thought long and
hard about this. The reason I posted this here is because I would
like to use this machine for construction of my CNC controller
enclosure and machine enclosure, although I will certainly have
other uses for it. Please advise if I was wrong to post here, so
I have an idea for future postings.
