It was the time to retire our old 4X8 CNC and get the 5X10, our visit to the AWFS was amazing this year it was great opportunity to get close and inspect what is the market has to offer in one place, there was at least four or five big names and everybody was surprised that one of the biggest names are missing this year.
We are located here in California and our business model is custom cut cabinet parts, we needed a machine that can produce parts fast and also to be reliable with no limitations or out of state customer support drama.
The Felder CNC was recommended for us by big companies working at commercial and public projects cutting 100s of laminate sheets every week for schools and hospitals one of them invited us 2 take a look.
Long story short, we are now grateful and happy we took this decision, we got the 5 by 10, 11 tool changer, this machine is amazingly simple, reliable and software is very flexible.

Great support local in Anaheim CA, and friendly professional customer support.
It was a hard decision to take due to so many companies competing, but we are glad we have chosen Felder to continue growing our business.

attached is our first special project cut on this new CNC.

That is an interesting post, maybe Felder is turning a new page, a lot of their equipment in the past has been overpriced low quality scrap metal.

I'm with Jeff on this one. I've found Felder to be expensive and underwhelming. What I've seen of their cnc's, hasn't made me one to dump my router for one either.

The original post reeks of guerrilla advertising as well

My buddy's 4 year old Felder is a lot less reliable than my 1999 Biesse's are.

Service sucks too. Down for a month with a horrible vibration when the spindle was coming out of the material. Replaced the spindle drive and the spindle. Didn't fix it. The tech wired homes when not busy.

Turned out it was a stick pneumatic quick exhaust caused by no lubrication in the pneumatic system. Buddy found it, not Felder tech. He ended up re-plumbing it to make it work properly. They still wanted to be paid for the spindle...

Software horrible too. He's is good at code so modded it to work.

Felder service Canada's crap. Need 2 parts for a panel saw and a planer and have been waiting a year. No one gets back to me and no effort on the sales side. No calls to even see if I want a new machine
Never buying felder again

Sorry for the unhappy customers. I have had more than a couple European machines. Quality and service varied. Until I bought something designed and built in the USA, I always had problems. Paid a little more up front, but in the long run, it was worth it, no doubt. Keep your money here fellas. On my second one now, couldn't be happier. BTW, the first one is still running strong, built in 2003.

I have a bunch of felder machines, including a cnc and in general have been pretty happy with them. Their service is brutal though..it’s funny how they always answer right away at the sales desk, but the service line usually goes to voicemail.
What part of Canada are you in Dave? Im in Ontario

Southern Saskatchewan. Some days seems like middle of nowhere. Most of our day dealings are in regina yet we get supplies from canada and us and ship out all over north America.
