shark-hd4-cnc-review-700 What power do you have in your shop? Accurate repeatability is probably my highest need for the kind of stuff I do. Happy to answer any questions you have. I need something that fits those parameters out the door, and hf4 Axiom is just on the wrong side of that equation. Shopbot is in Durham, NC I have no shark hd4 cnc review 700 or relation with the manufacturer

It also allows you to carve and machine stock that is intentionally convex to begin with. A new electronics package expands the capabilities of the CNC Shark and allows attachments like Laser, 4th Axis, and water cooled spindle control. Out of stock. Quantity: 1. You may forget Go for a welded frame over a bolt together frame. Go for the heavier machine rather than the lighter machine. There must be a reason for that. Maybe the motors are under powered? Maybe too much flex for higher cut speeds?

You can also buy excellent used CAMaster Stingers if you are looking to spend less. I think camaster provides better support, having a user forum, but shopsabre is a good machine. I would not do the Axiom, as it is just a china rebranded machine like laguna.

I agree with the reasons others have stated above. I have had 5 cnc machines for different purposes over the years. WinCNC running a rigid machine with a spindle has been my favorite combination for the kind of work you describe. Bob Armbruster www. I did the research as best as I could and went with a Camaster.

WinCNC was a major factor in the decision. Each machine is custom made so there is a bit of a waiting period after ordering. The tech support people are very good and willing to help but the down side is that they only work five days a week eight hours a day.

Their documentation and training videos are a bit sparse also. Especially when compared to other manufacturers like Shopbot. As with anything else, some will have add-on features that the others don't have and that is what makes the decision tough.

One of these options is the deck. The Camaster has a sealed MDF or an optional phenolic deck. Others have corrugated aluminum. Another option is the built-in ornamental lathe.

All in all it is a great machine and I am very happy with my decision. If the need should arise I would buy another one. I imported a chinese machine. It has a welded steel frame, steel gantry and heavy duty NEMA drive system with the same drive rails as in a Cammaster, and a rack and pinion drive, and italian made z-axis ball screw.

It is not as eloquent as a Cammaster doesn't have as nice a paint job, comes with about zero documentation and pretty close to zero support. If you can do your own repairs and fix yourself, have background in machinery, proficient at computers, and controllers it can be a decent option.

The plus side is that the cost of my machine was less than half of what a comparable US made machine would cost.

There IS a price to pay, but it is not in dollars. Re: HD4: A huge let down, sadly. We've been reviewing your issues, and the pendant seems to be the problem, as we haven't had any of these problems since the release of the HD4.

Post by studio-n » Sun Oct 23, pm I'm not a fan of pendant controls. I like being able to do it all from the PC. Post by Larry Stobbs » Wed Dec Cnc Shark Hd4 Vs Hd5 21, am the Cnc Shark Hd5 Reviews question I have is that if the pendent on the other manufacturers machines is better, can someone buy a different pendent and install it on a shark? Unfortunately customer service and quality control issues have turned me to the point I contacted Rockler and asked them to send me instructions on how to return this piece of junk.

Over a month after ordering this unti, I got it in the week of Christmas. While waiting for it to come in, I started working on the other things I needed to set this up including dust collection. While waiting for the machine to get here, I got the dust boot from NWA and found that it wasn't made correctly.

The hole that a standard vacuum hose should insert into was made way to small and I filled out the email contact with NWA. After no responses I ended up calling and spoke to a lady in the office who sent me return label the response to the email I sent didn't actually get responded to from the company until three weeks later.

I put the machine together and I did manage to actually talk to a human being once during that week with some basic questions I had about the pendant and that is the only time I have been able to talk to a human being there.

I got the machine put together, I made spoil boards for it so I wouldn't risk damaging the top, I ordered the controller bracket from Rockler which by the way has to modified so the x,w and z connections can be made on the back and I got everything powered up and then found out that the pendant will not let you jog the system a specific increment like you could on the older machines. At the slowest speed setting I could get to work, I found that I typically had a movement of several thousandths with the slightest touch of the pendant controller.

I contacted NWA about that issue and when I got a reply the basic answer was to type in a number in the boxes to move the controller. That is a stupid and very painstaking method to use to jog the machine a small amount so the Shark Hd4 Review pendant is basically a useless piece of junk for doing anything with accuracy in an expedient manner and in this case I would have probably been better off buying the Axiom that Rockler sells.
