Hello, This is my first post here and I wanted to say hi. I have recently purchased a AR8 Pro+ and am waiting on it to arrive. This is my first CNC and I am looking forward to it. I am going to be making various things and letting the machine make some money while I do other things in my shop. I have a bad back so letting it do work for me is great. Lol. I have a question for everyone out there. It looks like my order is pending shipment and I hope for it to ship this week so my question is how long did it take everyone to get their CNC's after they shipped? I have to add new power runs for the CNC and the dust collection and mount the dust collection but cant do any of that till I have the machine so I have a idea of placement. Thanks in advance for any replys.

Welcome to the club
Best thing I can suggest is to call Axiom and ask when to expect your machine. They will know better than anyone.
Did you buy the stand with the machine? It is very heavy duty and will work great for you.
The machine itself is very heavy, and a good stand is a must
I have a AR4 and I got the stand and tool box. Both are great accessories to have.

Thanks for the reply. I am looking forward to being part of the club. They are expecting it to ship soon I was mainly looking for how long it took in transit on average. Like is it a few days or weeks to get from them to me. I got the stand and tool box. I figured it looked like a good heavy sturdy stand so why even bother trying to make one myself. |

Where you live will affect transit time by the common carrier that they hand it off to from their facility in Ohio. So it could be a few days or a week or more as you state.  When I order mine, hopefully soon, I expect that the transit time once it's ready for shipment will be relatively quick because both Axiom and my location are in close proximity to a direct east-west Interstate corridor with major terminals nearby. I can drive to their facility from here in about 6 hours and it's pretty much "one road" for most of the way. I agree that you made a good decision to invest in the OEM stand for the AR8 Pro...it looks to be very beefy based on the videos and other information. It's also setup to easily level...and re-level if you need to move it for some reason. |

Im in southeastern Wisconsin so hopefully it wont take to long to get here from Ohio. |

Make sure you have some people to help you set it up as it's heavy and more than your back will want to deal with alone.
