New CNC

New CNC, which is the company name. My name is John Bishop, been doing this a long time. I got sick and sold my architectural woodworking shop in 2019 now I am a professional CV consultant. I have a client looking to buy their first CNC machine. I am steering them towards a Talent 5 with a load and unload made by a company called new CNC.
It is a very robust machine. I spoke to (9) owners who have this exact machine and all love it. This machine is a Chinese import, most of them are. I have been away from this market for (4) years as I was sick. I am on the mend now and those four years might as well be forty for technology regarding these machines. I can manage the link, programming, and such for the machine. Can any professionals out there present a reason my client should not buy this machine? The New CNC folks are good people. We are in Ohio; the New CNC is out of Michigan which is about (4) hours from Cincinnati that’s important for service items. Could send a man there and back for parts in one day.
Is there information other pros share regarding these machines? Machining stuff etc. Cabinet Vision will oversee the post. I believe this is a great machine for my client, but I am looking forward to your feedback.
Thanks for your time.

How many machines have you looked at John? When I worked as a maintenance manager I always sought out a minimum of three different companies and put the key specifications on a spread sheet so I could compare apples with apples. For the sake of due diligence, I would recommend you do the same. The best way to have confidence in your decision is to gather information and compare.

It sounds like you’ve done thorough research on the Talent 5 from New CNC, and having spoken to nine satisfied owners is a good sign. Given that you're in Ohio and the company is based in Michigan, the proximity for service and parts is definitely a plus. I don't see any immediate red flags, but it's always worth checking for any recent reviews or updates in technology from the last four years to ensure the machine meets all your client’s needs.

The software has made huge strides, but the machinery has not. Major change is that all the components are made in China now. The machinery is still just a super simple robot that it was even 10 years ago.

If you are interested in American support locally, look south to Louisville. I can vouch for Northwood Machinery. Have two wood routers, one 23 years old, the other 2 years. Great machines, really good support. I wish I could say that in regards to our Italian edgebander.

By the way John, I'm in Cincinnati too if you want to look at mine.

FYI, on my 21 year old machine, part of the wire track broke 15 minutes before the end of the day. I called Northwood about the issue. A tech will be at the door at 5:30 tomorrow morning so he can fix it and be back in Louisville by 9:00 for training on spindle rebuilds. You just can't beat that kind of service and frankly, its what I've been getting for years. Chinese machines are cheaper on the front end, but in the long run? I'm not gonna take the chance. Every day a machine isn't running is money lost.

    FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator
    (return to top).

    Carefully review your message before clicking on the "Send Message" button - you will not be able to revise the message once it has been sent.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk. WOODWEB reserves the right to delete any messages it deems inappropriate. (return to top)
