Brianna Products would like to announce...

Today we started on our new CNC machine for the pool cue industry. This will be a complete turn key system, including computer with Bobcad and Mach 3 installed. We will have a standard 25k spindle and optional 45k spindle. We will offer free training here at our shop when you buy the complete package. We will also have videos that will come with the package - you can take them with you. There will be basic programs included in the package, and more advanced that can be purchased seperately. This will also have a 4th CNC axis for engraving and turning the cue to any desired location This will be AFFORDABLE to new cue maker's and also exsisting cue maker's as a second or backup machine .

Turn key 1 hour start up time.
The best support of any pool cue system.
Programs included.
4th axis.
Windows based. NO complicated DOS programs!
We can write your programs (for a fee).
Weekend CNC training here in Quincy, Mi.
Free training.
Phone suport.
2 spindle choices 25 k or 45k.
Bobcad and Mach 3.

We will keep you updated as things progress
thanks...Lee Malakoff
 
What price point are you aiming for? I have been researching machines and anticipate purchasing one within the next few months. When do you expect to introduce these to the market?
 
in the next 6to 8 weeks we not finished pricing yet
we will offer a few ways to buy w or wo computer
w or wo spindle we will know more the end of the week

7 grand?
I hope not.
Lee has not quoted a price.
I'm hoping without the computer and software around 4-5 with lower speed spindle.
But, I could be just dreaming.

I built my own 4-axis Gantry system. I bought the linear rails and bearings, the ball-screw assemblies, the stepper motors and reducers, the toroidal transformer, drivers, capacitors, diode and break board off of e-bay over about a 2 year period. I bought my metal from a exotic metal scrap yard at 1.00 a pound. I already had the Sherline fourth axis and AHHA operating software. At first I just used a P/C laminate trimmer that I had. I bought misc. travel limiters and what ever else was needed. It cost me around 2600.00 to build but that was not counting the stuff I already had. The fourth axis, operating software, cad/cam software and other items would easily cost another 25 - 3000.00. Keep in mind that I bought all top of the line, but used, components off of e-bay for less than 20 cents on the dollar. If I would be building the same system but using new ball screws and linear bearings the price would easily be around 6000.00 more. 7/8 ball screws around 1500.00 each. 2 sets of NSK linear bearings and rails 1600.00 a set and so on.

I am sure that these CNC systems will not be using the same components that I did but parts and labor still runs into money. You don't get precision, accuracy, repeatability and any kind of life expectation using cheap components. One nice thing is software pricing keeps dropping. I have AHHA which is a primitive doss based system that cost a lot of money in it's day but I've already got it and it's stable as long as I can keep finding computers for it. It can't use anything faster than a 100 MGH computer. Windows can't even be on the computer.

You can buy square rails 6' long for 180$ brand new the bearings cost all most as much as the rails at 55 a pop. this is after a boatload of digging.

These are Thompson but they are about the same that I used:

This price is times 2 plus 4 trucks per axis. MSC is where I got my retail prices when deciding whether to bid or not on e-bay.
