LINTCNC - Dont buy before watching - SAVE $$$ in avoiding unexpected costs.

[@matthiaskraus7870]

I'm in Germany and I have also some "interesting experience". Here the bussiness-structure was perfect incl transport, but I wanted a spindle with a head to use toolholders and automatic tool changer - this spindle was available but I dont got it mounted. finaly it was confusing, but I have a machine that works - to a good endprice ! It reminds on two videos I have seen on youtube buying a metal- lathe in china 1) A german man who shows up what does not work, or is incomplete - summary: the lathe is scrap and not worth the money. 2) A polish man with the same machine: He shows what he found, that was not perfect on his lathe incl. produce of a sparepart. - his summary after two month working on his maschine: Super machine absolut precise to a price you can not get a machine with such equipment in europe ! Maybe we have to think in a different way, because if you calculate building this machine yourself - the chinese can not be able to earn to much money with such a machine and so there will be the one or other point they try to save money.

TOYS ! thats the right word . You got a really capable machine. And everyone be sure to hire a shipping company by yourself so there are no hidden costs.

[@TrendSigns]

100% Correct. i have learned a lot from this experience. The machine still has its issues, however I expected that and learned to fix things or work around them. The machine has produced some very cool projects. Been fun overall. Yes, it is Toy though. It would be good enough to get a workshop started then buy a Professional machine later one work is flowing in.

I know Alibaba accepts PayPal now, so you think that would have changed the outcome on getting some reimbursement?

[@TheUofastudent]

Wow thank you so much you saved me a lot of money was about to buy from them !!

[@woodsteelcreations4681]

That's Great!... I'm glad to have saved you the issues I have had with this dodgy company.

Get altmill or longmill instead if you're in NA

What were the customs cost? I'm worried I'm going to get hammered with that. Currently looking for a Customs broker. Thanks

[@TrendSigns]

Customs is going to different and probably more expensive since I imported. Just make sure you use your local Customs Broker or you may get screwed over like LINTCNC did to me. However, Import costs were not too bad, but when you add $3500 - $4000 on top because LINTCNC screwed me over. then it really hurts.

[@v_doggproductions3797]

@@TrendSigns I'll definitely get a broker. I wish you luck. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for charing your experience

Which machine is good from china? Do you think blue elephant 1212 is a good machine.

[@woodsteelcreations4681]

I think I would go with Acctek or Blue Elephant.. However I would do more research before committing. I have been talking to Acctek for a Laser Fibre Machine. The quality and service does seem better. However I have as yet not bought from them.

[@philokyprosandreou]

This is a proper machine to buy and surely not those 3 I ordered from Forsun Jinan CNC, and they were never delivered because: The multirouter FS2040 could not be put together, as Forsun admitted repeatedly their incompetence to do this. The 2nd, a 5-head CNC cutting machine was produced with 1 oscillating knife tool less, and they said they can't make it as agreed. The 3rd machine, a hybrid laser, was never proved to be in a working condition, as they never sent us any such video. Regretfully, they are refusing compensating us or even giving us full refund of our $19,050 we paid as an advance payment. Alibaba pretends to know nothing, and they seem to be totally useless

[@GearCave_RetroVibe_Guitars]

WOW.. that is terrible. China is still a very difficult country to deal with as they don't seem to have morals or common decency. Its a shame as they do really have potential to be really good.

[@generswing]

Sir what company of the hybrid laser machine and what is the model

[@markgrayson4460]

So is there a machine you wish you had got instead?

[@TrendSigns]

Yes... There are two companies that are a LOT better (I think)... considering LINT CNC cost me $4k in unnecessary incompetence I could have bought a higher quality machine with more options. Live and learn.... After fixing many, many issues with the machine its running very well now. I have already made a few signage jobs that have earn half the cost back already so it was still a good investment. Im having a tone of fun learning and producing some great results. So I am actually happy with it.... now.

[@randyferguson5356]

I bought a Lint 1212 and its a piece of garbage.

[@GraphicwrapsAu]

Im Sorry to say.... LINTCNC are terrible quality... This is why Im doing the video. So people know they are a toy machine that needs a lot of work.

[@emergisllc]

constantly contradicts himself

[@TrendSigns]

Thanks for your option. Sorry if I’m not a great video maker… the fact is the machine not great. Needs work. I’m just trying to warn people about the quality. Maybe you could provide some of your wisdom?

[@AllydsCNC]

I've just gone through a similar process to you, importing a 1325 CNC router to Australia(Adelaide). By the sounds of it, I was quite lucky. I'm sorry to listen to your story but it needs to be told. The machine I bought was from Style CNC, I got what I paid for and was overall happy but the points you raise, iso9000 for example are quite laughable.

[@woodsteelcreations4681]

WOW.. Gongrats to surviving the worst video on the the internet. With all the issues with it I still think its a fun toy. I laugh at all the issues as they are typically easy fixes after a learning curve... Ive made a few jobs on it now.. Aq few more to do too. Will have a more positive update soon..

[@Alex-du9ok]

Hi mate, may i know how much did your one cost finally?

[@AllydsCNC]

@@Alex-du9ok In the end the total price was around $15400 I'm fortunate that my brother owns a crane truck so there was a fair cost saving there at both ends.

[@Alex-du9ok]

@@AllydsCNC what brand did you bought?

[@AllydsCNC]

@@Alex-du9ok I bought a from Style cnc, if I had my time again I would have bought Blue Elephant. It probably would have been more expensive but their build quality is better, mainly around the frame strength. I'm a hobbiest so for what I do it's ok, not great, not shit.
