CNC Routers - INACTIVE

A sampling of actual prices paid by CNC router customers who used BuyerZone's service can be found below, complete with purchasing details

Based on the information we received, here are some points to consider about pricing:

• Most small-to-medium businesses in the manufacturing and woodworking industries work with 3-axis or 4-axis CNC routers. 5-axis routers are used in the boating, automobile, and aerospace arenas and are typically the most expensive.
• Pricing varies based on features, the type of motor (stepper or servo), and whether or not you need customized software. You also need to consider the price of extended warranties, shipping, and training.
• Reconditioned CNC routers cost as much as 30% less than the new machines. Vendors clean the routers, replace worn and broken parts, upgrade controllers, and provide a basic one-year warranty. It's a viable option for those new to the technology, but may not be cost-effective for businesses that will use them heavily.
• CNC router vendors typically offer extended service warranties for an additional 5% to 10% of the cost of the router. If you will use routers extensively, you may want to take advantage of this option. However, a reputable vendor will provide standard warranties - usually one year long - for both new and refurbished CNC routers.
