Q1: For small and medium factories, should I choose a straight tool changer or a disc tool changer?
A: Prioritize straight tool changers—simple, low-maintenance and fast. A 12-tool straight changer meets cabinet/door needs. Disc changers are only for complex profile orders.
Q2: Is a dust-free cutting machine worth the extra cost?
A: Yes. It reduces scratches, waste and environmental risks, with long-term savings exceeding the extra upfront cost.
Q3: Is higher automation always better?
A: No. Match automation to production scale: <50 sheets/day (semi-auto); 50-150 sheets/day (auto load/unload); >150 sheets/day (robotic line).
Q4: Is there a big gap between domestic and imported cutting machines?
A: Mid-to-high-end domestic machines (like EXCITECH) match imports in precision/stability, with better after-sales and 30%-50% lower price.
