Computer Numerical Control(CNC)equipment offers several advantages that conventional equipment does not,such as the ability to make intricate cuts and significantly reduce waste pieces.As one would expect,the technology that makes these advantages possible also makes CNC equipment more expensive than conventional equipment.The cost of a conventional,industrial grade router seldom exceeds the five-figure mark,but the price of an industrial grade CNC router can exceed this mark,even when it is purchased from a seller of used CNC woodworking machines.
When they observe the general price of computer-controlled hardware,some woodworkers conclude that they could never afford it,but when they consider the points below,they often find it is more affordable than they thought.
The price variation among different models
The price of industrial computer-controlled routers ranges,and the price range will reflect the various features and capacities the hardware possesses.Instead of assuming the hardware they need is outside of their rice range,buyers should determine what features they need in CNC equipment,and then price out equipment that offers the features.When they do this,many buyers are surprised that the hardware they need is in a lower price range than expected.
The value of pre-owned hardware
When the goal is to buy an industrial CNC router,the buyer should consider purchasing the equipment secondhand.Unlike hobby grade and mid grade computer-controlled equipment,industrial equipment is designed to withstand rigorous use on a regular basis.In many cases,industrial grade,used CNC woodworking machines have years of life left,with some models lasting thirty years or longer.When they are reconditioned and have been maintained,used industrial woodworking equipment typically offers the same performance as new equipment,but costs much less than the original purchase price.
The possibility of asset disposition
When computer-controlled equipment is purchased to replace conventional equipment,the seller may be interested in acquiring the buyera??s old hardware.Although computer-controlled equipment is superior to conventional equipment,hobbyist woodworkers often purchase the latter to use in a shop.Small companies that have a low production rate may also be interested in buying it.Liquidating old equipment and using the money for new equipment is an excellent way to mitigate the cost of computer-controlled machines.
The opportunity for financing
Most sellers of pre-owned equipment allow buyers to finance at least a percentage of the purchase.If you need CNC hardware to meet an increased production demand,financing the hardware,and then paying the balance with the revenue earned from the increased production is a shrewd way to afford the hardware.
