I make automotive parts from rough aluminum castings in my home shop. Current machine is a Series I Bridgeport step head.. I have installed a Anilam wizard 1000 with 4 axis and like it very much. Also installed a power drive on the X. It is a 9x42 table.
My parts involve surfacing, drilling bolt patterns and threading blind holes.
Much time is spent with tool changes and setup.
The parts vary in size from palm sized to 30 inches long.
Want to spend less time machining.
Looking at getting a Milltronics VK4 3 axis cnc. Setup with cat 40
Will this help me out? Or do I need a bigger better system? Budget is a concern.
How will the VK4 perform for threading?
