Comparison: MechMate 4'x8' System to the EZ-Router 4'x8' System
I was entering this information in another post and though it needed it's own seperate post. This details the EZ-Router system compared to the MechMate. This "review" is somewhat biased since I built a MechMate. By going with the MechMate I got:
Note the mechanical limit switches without proper cable strain reliefs and the "dangling" y-Car cable hose running through the gantry: Note the smaller and exposed v-bearings (the pinion gear also doesn't appear to be fully on the track): Bigger Z stepper with better resolution (note the lack of a geared setup): http://www.ez-router.com/ProductImag...-alternate.gif Better spring perch design and shielded cables on the MechMate (the motors do appear to be grounded though): Geared motors on the MechMate Z asix for better resolution: I could have even built the 5'x12' ez-router for just about $600 more than a 4'x8' table which they sell for $14,580 (two main beams, additional legs, additional support board beams): http://www.ez-router.com/index.asp?P...PROD&ProdID=52 |
