Here is an email I got in, lets help out Derek:
Dear Ivan,
I am a woodwork teacher in Belize and I need a little help, after joining your
community with the purpose of looking into CNC router teaching for my school. I
have been approached by local government officials and have had several discussions
relating to the setting up of a small to medium scale manufacturing woodshop, to
assist the local cabinet makers to upscale the quality of their products.
The basic plan is to have a single shop that provides carved panels for local
(country) use in their domestic cabinets and export cabinets. Also to look into the
exporting of carved panels as a standalone product. Belize is blessed with over 700
species of wood and over 80 species of hard wood, Mahogany is very abundant here
i.e. US$3 per board foot.
Now to the problem, I need advice on which machine or machines should be considered
for such a project. As you can imagine I have spent countless hours searching the
internet, and the more I look the more confused I get. The starting parameters are
a machine with a cutting area of approximately 4’ x 8’ and a price of around US$
10,000.
Any assistance with this would be most appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.
