A ROCTECH RC1325 with 3.0 KW HSD spindle, Yaskawa servos, DSP controller, and vacuum table lands around $8K–12K total — leaving room in your budget for a proper vacuum pump, dust collection, and tooling. You get a welded steel frame (1450 kg), HIWIN 25 mm linear rails, helical rack & pinion on X/Y, and a machine that runs 24/7 in production environments. ROCTECH's 15-year track record, 50 patents, and ISO9001/CE/UL certifications provide confidence that's hard to find at this price point from other import brands.
