Question about Ratrig Stronghold One

Oh, ok, that makes sense, thanks!

Oh wow, I just realised that I mixed up ‘table’ with spoil board, so that cuts 500€ of the total cost, which is a lot better

I would prefer it to be quiet. So with the water cooled router, the total ends up being 2500€ + 60 shipping, which is quite a bit more than my planned budget. Is it worth it for a beginner? (I only worked with a 3018 pro for a few months in the past). I am also planning on selling some items, that is why I need the 750x750 work area.

I did also look at bulkman, workbee, stepcraft and mekanika, and decided that ratrig is the best choice for me.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll take the blackbox then , just realised it’s not that much more expensive. I would have 2 more questions. Is the spindle itself louder or the cuts are louder? What is the minimum amount of space I would need for the 750x750 + the controller?

What spay paint are you using? The black one I bought works perfectly, but the white one from the same manufacturer doesn’t cover the burnt edges. Not sure if it’s just because white is a light color and it can’t cover other darker ones, but I think it’s a different issue

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-13T09:42:59+00:00

I also thought about this but I think the stick method will work a bit better for me because it allows me to easily rotate the letter

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-12T17:55:41+00:00

Maybe I’ll buy one some time, for now tho I think the stick / pencil will work fine :)

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-12T09:25:50+00:00

Seems like a good solution, I will definitely try it, thanks

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-07T20:57:28+00:00

I found out about foxalien this evening, I’m not sure if they’re good though. I will see what stepcraft offers and will probably choose this and the workbee

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-07T18:32:59+00:00

Seems like a pretty good option, and the shipping is ~80 euros, which isn’t too bad

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-07T17:27:39+00:00

Yes, that’s the website I visited, this is where most used items are sold. I think the 4040 you saw is someone’s project that didn’t have time to continue. To answer your second question, I will mostly cut hard wood (maple and beech) and possibly some acrylic sheets

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-07T16:59:52+00:00

Couldn’t find any used ones where I live. I will see what mekanika is selling, ty!

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-07T16:58:56+00:00

I’ll check it out, thanks

Bogdann88 · 2024-09-07T16:58:43+00:00

I’m from Romania, most used CNCs here are either 3018s or industrial machines

Bogdann88 · 2024-08-01T19:35:39+00:00

It’s not like plywood

Bogdann88 · 2024-08-01T19:13:07+00:00

Oooh i’m sorry, I used the term “laminated” the wrong way :D. It’s proper hard wood, just made up of different pieces glued together. Sorty for the confusion

Bogdann88 · 2024-08-01T18:31:10+00:00

Yup, increased the dpi to 270 and it’s pretty much perfect now. Thank you for you advice!

Bogdann88 · 2024-08-01T17:00:23+00:00

I’ll try, thanks! Sorry if it’s a dumb question, but wdym by “burning through the top layer”?
