I'm planning on importing a 4'x4' CNC router from China sometime between now and Xmas. Same factory I bought my laser cutter from - they have proven to have good support and communications.
I'm getting pretty aggressive pricing, and thought I would throw this out there to see if any NCWW members would like to buy one. Not looking to make any money on the deal, other than maybe a little better pricing for a multiple machine order, which will benefit all participants. Just trying to be neighborly...not many people know you can order factory direct and import yourself.
I've already imported from China a couple times, so I can help you navigate that aspect. Last time I had it shipped to Norfolk and picked it up at the warehouse myself.
Here's the company I'm ordering from:

Basically the same units as the Camaster, just a different factory. Drop me a PM if you're interested. Price quotes I have gotten are around $3K for the 6090 (24x36") and $4K for the 1212 (48'x48'). That's before freight, duties, customs broker fees and bulk breaker fees. Probably tack another $500-$600 on for that.
This will be my first CNC machine, and like the laser you shouldn't expect turnkey like ShopBot....however if you are a quick learner I've found the Chinese machines to be very capable; at least when it comes to lasers anyway.
