CNC Shark Forum

Hi all, I am new to all this so please bear with me.
I am looking for any one that can compare the Shark 50 anniv unit with the Baileigh WR-23.
I would like to be albe to do little stuff and big stuff like doors.

The 50th anniv version would allow me to do cabinet doors and such.
The Baileigh would allow me to do a full-size entry door.

But I have no real idea on reliability of either machine.

Any help you can provide would be great.

Thanks!!!

I don't know anything about the other brand but I like z larger table. Full sized doors? I doubt it. It appears 31" wide and then you need clamping room.

There are so many variables when choosing a cnc it is something that I would really research and include warranty and tech support even if it is a forum.

The Baileigh appears to be a scaled down industrial CNC. I've never seen or used one though. The Sharks are simpler, lighter, less accurate (more flex), designed from the table up as a consumer/hobbyist CNC. Apples and Oranges. If I wanted to make a business out of one I'd get the Baileigh.

You'll still need some software to draw up then toolpath your projects in. The Sharks come with VCarve Pro which is excellent for both IMO.
