Buying a second-hand CNC router machine is an effective way to save money. When the budget is insufficient, a second-hand CNC router machine is a good choice. You can buy a very good machine at a lower price. Buying a second-hand machine is a very cost-effective choice. At present, the market for second-hand machines priced at US$10,000 or more is relatively broad. The price of the machine also ranges from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Market data shows that the average cost of a customer to buy a new machine is 7,932 yuan, and the average cost of a second-hand machine is 2,230 yuan, which has a very large price advantage. At the same time, there are certain risks in buying a second-hand machine. For example, the performance of a second-hand machine will definitely decline compared to a new machine. At the same time, the risk of failure will also increase relatively. When purchasing, it is also necessary to consider the equipment repair cost and maintenance cost, which is a very important part.
For the determination of the price of each engraving machine, multiple factors need to be considered comprehensively. Such as the size of the machine, the power and control system of the machine, the software, materials, brand and reputation of the machine, advertising costs, transportation costs and after-sales costs, etc. Let's analyze the factors that affect the price of the engraving machine in detail.

There are many factors that affect the price of CNC machines. The price of CNC machines includes production costs and profit costs. Apart from the profit price, the production cost is related to the size, number of axes, brand, processing speed, production materials, and technical investment of the CNC engraving machine. Let's analyze these reasons one by one.

The size of the CNC router machine affects the price of the CNC machine. The larger the machine, the more expensive the machine.

The prices of CNC router machines of different brands will also be different. The price of CNC router machines of big brands is relatively high, and the after-sales guarantee period will be relatively long, and the quality of the price will be more guaranteed. The technical strength of manufacturers of big brands is relatively better, and the engraving machines they launch are new in style and have better performance, so the price is relatively higher. Blue Elephant CNC is a manufacturer specializing in the production of CNC engraving machines. The site covers an area of 30,000+. The various types of equipment produced are exported to countries all over the world. The quality and reputation are trustworthy, and the price is more affordable.

The price of CNC engraving machines varies with the number of axes. Generally speaking, the more axis there are, the more functions the CNC engraving machine has, the more sophisticated the corresponding processed parts will be, and the price of the engraving machine will be higher.

For CNC machining, processing speed directly affects production efficiency and finished product quality. The faster the speed, the higher the degree of completion, and the work will be completed faster and more efficiently. Generally speaking, the higher the maximum processing speed that a CNC machine can achieve, the more expensive the CNC machine will be.

The production materials of different CNC router machines vary greatly, and the price of machines with good configuration and good quality will be higher.

The prices of suppliers and agents vary greatly. Usually, the prices of direct suppliers are much cheaper than those of agents.

Other controllers are connected to computer control systems, which are more convenient to operate and more efficient. There are genuine and cracked versions of control systems. Genuine controllers will also increase the corresponding production costs.
There are many CAM and CAD control software on the market. Common ones include Type3, ArtCAM, Cabinet Vision, CorelDraw, Solidworks, UG, MeshCAM, UcanCAM, AlphaCAM, MasterCAM, PowerMILL, CASmate, Fusion360, Alibre, Aspire, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Rhinoceros 3D, etc.

The higher the initial technology investment cost, the higher the price of the CNC router machine will be. The technical requirements of CNC router machines are very high, and a lot of research costs will be invested in the early stage. The cnc router machine with upgraded technology will be more expensive than the ordinary machine. At the same time as the price is high, the production quality and production efficiency are also improved accordingly, saving other labor costs and material costs.

A CNC router machine for mass manufacturing can weigh up to several tons, and the floor space is also very large, so a considerable part of the cost must be spent on packaging and transportation. In order to facilitate transportation, a machine is usually split into several parts for transportation, and the labor cost of loading and unloading must also be added to the cost of the CNC router machine. The cost of packaging and transportation can generally reach thousands of dollars. Therefore, when purchasing an CNC Router machine, don't forget to negotiate this cost with the merchant.

First, you need to determine your actual processing needs, whether it is processing wood, stone, or other materials such as acrylic. Determining the type of processing can help you confirm the type, size and power of the machine you need. If you want to engrave wooden furniture, a 3-4 kilowatt ordinary spindle is enough. If you want to process stone, then you need a CNC router machine equipped with a high-power water-cooled spindle.

The budget is one of the important factors to consider when buying a CNC router machine. The budget determines the configuration level, size, and whether to buy a second-hand CNC engraving machine. At the same time, your budget needs to consider the transportation cost of the machine, the packaging cost of the machine, and the subsequent operation and maintenance costs.
