Need help / advice
Hello everyone, for the past few years, all my spare time has gone to cnc, work and free time
I allways wanted to start my own shop, but didnt find any “starter machine” that met my needs
I landed on desktop cnc’s, but these are just woordworking machines with a dream of cutting aluminium
After giving up, picking it up again and repeating this cycle, i found the “tooldance x1”
A machine with an optional 4th/5th axis, 400x260x180 work volume and floodcooling options.
I do know every step of the proces, from cad-cam to post processing the part
I have a few clients in my circle who need custom parts in batches of 3-10, i also have a bambulab p1s, i am trying to find my own place in the machine shop world. My idea is to pick up the small 1-20 batch jobs, 3D print prototypes as an add-on service and do jobs for walk in customers
My parents own a company themselves, so this is where i will be opperating.
The big investment is the tools, wich i will buy from my job, there are a lot of mills and drills wich are trown away beacouse they have a tiny bit of wear, these mills i can still use as i dont plan on entering any 0.00x teretory.
