Looking for the "best" cnc inlay machine. Any suggestions?

Techno would be the top of the line, but get out your wallet and take out a loan. You could expect to pay upwards of 15-25k. Then you will have to add items for cue making.

Are you wanting to just do inlays on a 12" area? Or do you want to inlay the full cue at one time? Do you want to turn down shafts and handles as well?

need to inlay full cue at one time and don't need to turn down shafts and handles.
 
The "best" would be one you build yourself. This can be very challenging, however, and if you don't want the hassle, I would recommend talking to Align-Rite.

I agree, especially if you want to do more than one cue at a time. With the gantry style set-up, you can utilize the machine for several different tasks, not just inlays. I am also impressed with the quality and accuracy of the Techno.

I vote for Techno, too. Don't worry so much about cost. Mine paid for itself in less than 3 yrs - since then, it's been almost all profit. I did upgrade the software one time since then but the only breakdown I had since 1995 was a limit switch I rapid traversed into.

And I would definitely consider a larger table. The additional cost isn't that much but the freedom to do a variety of things without breaking down setups is priceless.
