Why Buy a CNC Machine When You Can Use Ours?

Home / Why Buy a CNC Machine When You Can Use Ours?

One of the biggest challenges as a small cabinet maker is whether or not you are at a stage to invest in advanced machinery to expand your business. 

There is no rule book to tell you when you should do this and at what point in your business journey. For some, it could be a couple of years and for others, it could be decades. 

Machines are not cheap and when it comes to purchasing them, you definitely need to do heavy research into what the machine you are looking at, can and can’t do and other peoples experience with it. You want something that can do what you need it to do at a price point you are happy with. It is definitely a balancing game – weighing up the cost and the benefits this piece of machinery gives.

How will you finance this purchase? Will you seek a loan from the bank? Do you have enough savings? Will you go to the bank of mum and dad? Does the place you are buying from have financing options? 

Now think forward 5 or 10 years into the future. Will this piece of machinery still be enough for your operations? Or will you need to upgrade? If that’s the case, is it better to spend more money now on a better piece of machinery that will last you a few more years or buy something now and leave it up to future you to think about it? 

Say you have the machine now, but you also need to think about where you are going to put your new machinery. It is unlikely it could fit in your backyard shed so you may have to lease a warehouse. If that’s the case, you would have to pay for rent, electricity and other bills that may come with this. Are there any warehouses in your area? What is the rent like? How much space would you require? Do you want enough space to store your projects too? Or do you only need enough space for the machinery and work area? 

There is a lot to think about when it comes to purchasing expensive machinery and the subsequent questions if you do buy one.
