Here it is...a post in a jewelery/cad forum...

Starting my own store and line



Hi I'm a new to the jewelry industry but have a pretty good understanding on how to make and design jewelry. I was going to order all my equipment through Rio grande but always looking for the best and cheapest price, want to stay under $10,000 all together. I don't know what kind of mill I need but I was going to go with Roland but heard there's better and cheaper ones. I might use rhino gold but is there another software to connect to the mill? Here is my list off the top my head I was going to purchase

Rio vacuum investing machine
Allset master kit
Neycraft furnace
Durabull polishing kit
Proxxxon butane
1kg Rio melting furnace
Midas system for kliar ecoating
Jewelry basic hand tool kit

This is just my list so far so I'm looking for any help or suggestions

Same old "Best/Cheapest" request.

Interesting budget. The best/cheapest CAD Mill is blowing his budget at $15k, not counting $10K for the best software to design and path for the mill.

The forum is kindly suggesting he actually work for someone before opening a store. :lmao:

Lol at least he is asking questions first.

So if I want to start a jewelry line, wouldn't it make more sense to design stuff and outsource the work to a bitter jeweler to raise working capital?

The human condition. Wanting everything for nothing yesterday. In my field (contracting), we get the hot shots who can can install a job three times faster than anyone else, and still have time for a beer after. It might fall over ten minutes after he leaves, but what the hey... And sales guys who know every trick in the book except how to give the customer value for the dollar. It always seems so simple. Ah, ignorance is bliss. It truly is.

Now we all know you don't need all that fancy stuff... Those people in that forum are just blowing smoke up his ass!

Lol sounds like a guy wants a buff body, but doesn't want to put in the time, effort and sacrifice to get it. Sh$&, even people who juice still work out crazy.
