CNC Masters knows you have several buying options. Milling equipment can be purchased new, used, or simply leased. Do you know how to choose the right milling machine for you? The best option may depend upon the projected project length and the company’s financial position. Leasing can be a great option for short production needs, but leasing an item is almost always more expensive than purchasing because of the interest and service charges. Ownership and tax breaks typically make buying business equipment more appealing; this is especially true when the property has a long and useful expected life such as our CNC mills. Purchasing a CNC mill in the early stages of a project saves company resources in the long term. It allows for better resource production planning based on market demands – without the worries and hassle of monthly overhead expenses.

Purchasing used CNC mills is also a viable option, but often times used equipment requires early onset maintenance or repairs which can offset any expected financial advantages. The benefits of purchasing a new CNC mill include quality assurance and pre-shipping inspection of the CNC Mill, a one-year hardware warranty against manufacturer defects, and full phone or e-mail technical support for the life of the CNC machine with your company.

For these reasons, CNC Masters presents the immediate value of a new CNC Mill.
