The real problem is support. If the machine goes down can you wait a day, two days, a week, a month for it to be fixed. Getting a part is a small part of the equation.

We purchased a new Limtech Orion last year. 5x10 with a drill block. I have to say that the service that jack provides is incredible. When you call support you get jack the owner of the company day or night. He knows his machines inside and out. He came himself and set our machine up and trained us on it. I would purchase from him again and again. Any issues that we have had were addressed immediately. Very heavy sturdy machine that has helped change our company.

I agree with Bill.
How deep is there tech support team?
Many parts can be interchanged between brands of machines or purchased from 3rd party vendors. Automation Direct, Igus, Misumi are good sources I've used. Controllers area a different problem. You want access to US based service technicians. Fanuc is at the top of this short list. Cheap? You rarely get more than you pay for.

After a short period of time the CNC becomes the heart of production. Going back to how you used to do it is not an option.

We bought a very good italian machine. I was very budget conscience of it at the time. We have been running with it for 4 years and given my time back I would have gone the extra mile and bought more machine. It has paid for itself many times over.

Good Luck!

Like Bill, there is no going back. We've been running CNC for almost 20 years. Almost everything flows from it. If it goes down we will quickly grind to a halt. Also like Bill I would buy more machine knowing what I do now. We are saving up for a new machine. I want to have two machines for peak load and as backup. Problem is there are always more places to spend it on then what I have.

For what it is worth... I bought an Orion 510 from Jack several months ago. I have had a few (self induced) problems. I once called Jack on a Saturday and he took my call and was happy to help. Another time he was on an install so it took him an hour or so to get back to me. Just now I texted him a question and he responded within five minutes. That wasn't good enough so I ask him to call me. He called within 20 minutes.

When I started considering a cnc I thought service would be a Limtech weakness, after talking with Jack and some other major makers I felt service was his strongest point. He has proven me right.

I purchased the machine, had it installed, and everything you said about Jack as spot on. I am very happy with the machine, and with Jack. In my opinion it is the best buy in the cnc market today. I went from a big boys point to point to a flat bed router from a smaller company. I have talked to a few other limtech owners and have yet to find one that was the least bit dissatified. I am verey confident that I made the right decision

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
    (return to top).

    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).
