How Much Working Area Do You Really Need? | Ep 260

What size CNC machine does your shop really need?

In this episode of Talkin’ Shop with ShopSabre, Brandon Bombardo and Nick Peters take on a question that sounds simple, but can have a major impact on your shop: how much working area do you actually need?

They dig into the factors that often get overlooked when choosing a CNC, including machine footprint, material sizes, workflow, production demands, and where your business could be headed in the next few years. They also explore why choosing the right size involves much more than simply looking at the parts you are cutting today.

If you are buying your first CNC, considering an upgrade, or trying to decide between machine sizes, this episode will give you plenty to think about before making that investment.

Plus, Brandon and Nick answer customer questions about single-phase power, CNC plasma water-table maintenance, and ball screws versus rack-and-pinion systems.
