Here in Jerusalem most of the big sellers on Alibaba have an exclusive distributor that offers warranty and service. Just like the big names. There's one cnc machine with 15 tools and a line boring head for 35k
Personally I went for the Biesse entry level, got a jade/skipper when I started, then bought the KFT for nesting a bit later on, and I didn't have to pay crazy amounts on them, reliable brand with good service even tho i'm in europe so it's easier, i'd say if you don't have the money for the big high-end machines, go for the entry level of reliable european brands, Biesse/Homag/SCM/Holz-Her, don't know much about US brands tho. But yeah definitely go for top brands or you'll cry without the service, cause those things break down.
this channel is a gold mine for cabinet shop owner ......... thanks
Buy once cry once . When it’s going to hold up all of your production. It pays to spend your money on a reliable and serviceable machine.
service, support and software, that's why you don't go Chinese!
Service, support, software and in most cases quality.

Maybe not Holzher, our Holzher CNC and picking system has been nothing but a pain
