Frequently asked questions
Choosing the right machining centre
Unsure between two models, an option or a CNC control? A technician will answer within 24 hours.
The complete buying guideHow do I choose between a 3-axis and a 5-axis machining centre?
A 3-axis centre is suitable for most milling operations. 5-axis is essential for complex geometries machined on several faces in a single set-up, with productivity gains of up to 40% on these parts.
What is the difference between linear guideways and box-way construction?
Machines with linear guideways (V Series) offer high rapid traverse rates and great versatility. Box-way machines (VP Series) prioritise rigidity and precision: ideal for hard materials and demanding finishes. Read our full comparison.
When should you opt for a horizontal machining centre (HMC)?
Horizontal centres are recommended for series production with palletisation and multi-face machining. With twin pallets (H Series), loading during machining time increases productivity by 30 to 40%.
Are Baofeng machines compatible with Fanuc, Siemens and Heidenhain?
Yes: Fanuc 0i-MF Plus on most series, Siemens SINUMERIK ONE on the 5-axis machines (A Series), with a Heidenhain control as an option on certain models. Operator and technician training is included with every installation. Fanuc or Siemens: our comparison.
What is the lead time for a Baofeng machine?
Less than 5 months from order to commissioning in your workshop: production, transport, installation and training included. MainJobToDo handles the entire process, from customs clearance to turnkey installation.
Which machine for machining large parts (over 2 m)?
The V-DC double-column series offers X-axis travels from 1,600 to 6,000 mm, with a table that supports several tonnes. The double-column architecture ensures exceptional rigidity.
What does it cost to maintain a Baofeng CNC machine?
Baofeng machines use top-tier components (THK, Hiwin, quality spindles). MainJobToDo offers preventive maintenance contracts, a 24/7 technical AI Assistant and an after-sales service network covering the whole of France.
