It is an attractive price and machine size. In fact I might be
interested. They are made in China, however. That may be a
downside against which one could compare those made in Taiwan.
See offerings at: .
If you go thru all the pages, you will come to the GEM500GV and
the GEM600PV. A couple years ago these machines were offered in
CNC versions with ball screws, etc. We were all wondering if the
GEM500 could be had without the control, but with the ball
screws. Inquiries never came to anything so far as I know. The
GEMs are mill drills but very unordinary ones.
Jerry,
I was the guy who emailed Handyage about the GEM CNC Mill. The reply I got
was that they would sell it without the CNC controls and motors, but with
the ballscrews. I can't remember the price, but I think they were about
$2800.00 each in a quantity of 20. I don't see them on their website
anymore.
