John,
We've been using an old dos based LPKF system for over 15 years, and
other than going
through a couple of motors, the thing has been running great. We don't
run it -quite-
as often as Jimmy does, but it gets up to ~30 hrs a week.
Support has been great too...

Hello John,
I have experience with the "LPKF PROTOMATE 92S router" and for what I've
seen of it, I recommend it. (Great phone tech support & replacement
parts are always available)
The machine is reliable, since our machine as been running around 40 to
50 hours a week for the past 5 or 6 years. We have to change the vacuum
motor about once a year. (But with this amount work hour, we consider
this a simple maintenance)
The electronic is reasonably reliable and the mechanic is as precise
today as it was when we bought it.
I recommend you keep a log of all repairs and part replacement you do,
in time you will see that there is a predictable ware out cycle. That
way you will be capable of preventive maintenance that will save you
down time.
We are thinking to buy a second machine, if you end up trying the T-tech
router, please let me know what you think of it. (((The bottom line is :
My experience with LPKF is a good one...)))
Best Regards,

Subject: [DC] OT: Prototype Circuit Board Plotter/Routing Machime
We are looking at purchasing a Prototype Circuit Board Plotter/Routing
machine. We are considering the T-Tech QC-5000 and LPKF C40. Does anyone
have experience with these machines. Pro and Cons of each and
preferences.
Thank you,
John
