Northwood vs Park and Thibaut

Post by lutsenko » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:22 pm

Anyone have any feedback on a Thibaut T918 M5 Fabcenter?
Once the word go out that I was in the market for a fabcenter... offers are comming in from various manufactures, was leaning towards a NW fabcenter, but seems like there are some really good alternatives out there as well.
Also anyone have any feedback on a Park Titan Fabcenter?
Your input would be greatly appreciated :grin:

The thibaut looks pretty sweet. Is the m5 version a full five axis?

Someone just got the park Titan fabcenter, I forget who.

We have had our Park fabcenter for just under a year. Its been awesome so far, no major complaints, the software can be a little buggy but its nothing that really affects things too much or slows you down, and theyre fixing it. Service has been great too. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Best thing I can recommend is try to go see some of these run in an actual shop doing what you are planning for it to do.
You are welcome at my shop or welcome to ask any questions you like.
Just don't settle for the, we don't do it like that, but you would do this....
We cut, router including polish, texture, and can even engrave all on one machine.
Pods as well as pieces are projected to set by laser.
We also have camera over our shuttle for slab layout of pieces when cutting.

Wondering if these 3 machine manufacturers will have Fabcenter for demo at the Covering in Atlanta next month.
