Frankly, with the machines already available for this industry, the use of CNC controlled machines is an unnecessary and complicated expense, you are better off thinking of jigs to standardise batch production.

I have been down this street in the past and am now involved with CNC, the latter is fine for complicated items that a simple jig cannot handle, or, for making the jigs themselves to a high standard of accuracy but for speedy production – no, plus the investment is colossal, and you will still need the simpler machines as well.

A lot depends on your proposed turnover and market level, and, don’t forget, its fine having an excellent product but you have to sell it at an acceptable price, and marketing is not easy out there.

Production is one thing and whatever you do, don’t forget the importance of sales staff, they are the lynch pin of industry, without sales the finest workshop in the world will fail, but I assume you are already aware of this.

Good luck on your endeavour, I hope this helps.
