look like a nice machine!
But I do prefer a machine that can cut aluminium, even though at a higher price
ok, since you live in Singapore, just search
www.taobao.com,I am sure you hear about it. I suppose you should read chinese.
from what I know, there several DIY individual sellers in taobao have some good quality machine which are very popular in domestic market and developing contries such as Argentina, Brazil,even to usa,gemany, of course as cheap compromising option to the industrial high quality one. such as mine, as a kit version, you can assembly yourself. I use my old computer and second hand led power supply.
15mm thin pvc frame , 300w high speed air cooled spindle drill.
some amchine can deal with aluminium should have steady heavy steel frame,
thats heavy, maybe 60 kg to 80kg in total weight. that will cost your some money for shipment .
although the shipment fee should not be too much high, from mainland to Singapore . figure it out yourself.
