Hi guys. I have a gunsmithing shop with my friend. We have a MODERN 9x35 milling with a 14x40 lathe from MODERN Tool too. We do general gunsmithing with it and all is nice. We run the shop for 2 year now and we want to upgrade, we want to do something new.
We are thinking a lot about CNC machining. We want to make gun stuff like muzzle brake, AR parts, custom job on slide, etc.
I think the PCNC is the best for me. PathPilot seems to be user-friendly and we found a lot of documentation about Tormach on internet. I do a little bit of 3D printing so i will be ok for CAD and CAM, with the time of course.
Now the question is.. 770 VS 1100. We want the parts maker package (Power draw bar, ATC, all the kit) with the 4 axis.
Can you help me to define what is the best for me ?
What i can do more with 10,000 RPM between 5300 ?
Big price difference between the 1100 and the 770 ? The 1100 parts maker package with 4 axis is $45k (Canada). Dont know yet for the 770. Of course, if the difference is significant and we can do practically the same thing with the 770, and we dont use the maximum potential of the 1100, we will take the 770.
Thanks for your advice !! And sorry for my english, im from Quebec, i do my best.
