Morbidelli CNC Nested base router - Buy or not Buy?

9/23/14       
Juan Geymonat  Member

We are looking to buy a Morbidelly 5x12 nested base router with unload and offload.
I would like to hear from a Morbidelli owner in regards to the reliability of the machine and the comparison with other CNC routers like Biesse or Homag

I have a Scmi routech 5 axis. Scm owned and manufactures mordibelli. I am satisfied enough that I just purchased another 5 axis machine from them. I would not hesitate to buy it.

Buy it!!!! You will not regret it. The universal 3615 is a awesome router. Biesse and stiles doesn't even compair to scm.

i would be careful in trusting anyone on these boards. You need to make the decision for yourself. Service should be #1 and that can vary on region. i know in the midwest they have a horrible reputation and it is rare to find them anywhere.

make a list of what your main things you want from the machine are. Speed, accuracy, cost of ownership, frame, boring block, software etc.. rate each of them from there.

If you're buying the machine new, the dealer should be able to refer you to other Morbidelli users in your area, even if they aren't users of this specific machine. That might help you judge the service side of things. We do post-processing for a number of Morbidellis around the country so if you get stuck, drop me a line and I'll see if we have someone in your area.

I agree with Phil be careful with the recommendations here, many people here are salesmen for the machine company they recommend.

i don't know about some posters but i am not a salesman for anyone but Deas Millwork. I can also only tell you about my experience with SCM which has been positive. I know the morbidelli and the routech are made in the same factory and use the same components. I looked at multiple routers at IWF and decided that for the money and the service i have received as well as the support network that i have developed with SCM techs and other owners i cannot beat an SCM machine. That is why we purchased another one. Anyone that is looking to purchase a machine needs to know that there is no manufacturer that is going to "do it for you". You have to be prepared to learn to troubleshoot issues yourself. I for one cannot afford to fly in tech every time my router has Gremlins. Our existing router is nine years old and we have normal issues associated with a nine year old router but SCM has been more than willing to lend support as well as giving me tech bulletins to keep me from having to have onsite support. I am quite satisfied.

Zach, Chris, Phil, Les and George

I think all your feedback was great.
I did a pretty deep research on all the CNC routers comparables to this one (Biesse, Homag, Felder, Onsrud, etc) including a visit ti IWF and each company sending reps to our shop. At the end the price point they have is substantially lower than the closest one and I really can't find any big red flag on why not to buy a Morbidelli.
They have a technician that lives an hour away and has fixed other CNC routers that I have and he recommended it. For me that's a big thing

I am in central WI. and am considering buying an easy jet. Anyone out there in the same area have any comments or concerns. Also, what are the significant differences between Busellato and SCM?

Looking at a new scm pratix N15 or morbidelli universal 3615. the sales people tell me the machines are exactly the same except for the drill block. does anybody have any knowledge of this? how do these machines compare to the Buselatto Jet Optima RT?

Scm owns Busellato. The main difference is the software interface.

What kind of a price tag for the M200 machine? 5x10? Offload system?

    FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator

    Carefully review your message before clicking on the "Send Message" button - you will not be able to revise the message once it has been sent.

    You will be notified of responses to the message(s) you posted via email. Be sure to enter your email address correctly.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk.
