Buyer question: What should I verify before paying a deposit to a Chinese CNC cutter supplier?
Short answer: Before paying a deposit, a B2B buyer should verify the supplier, machine configuration, sample test result, payment terms, delivery schedule, packing scope, documents and after-sales support. A low price is not enough evidence for a safe CNC cutter order.
Who this answer is for
This page is written for B2B buyers, distributors and factory users who are close to a purchasing decision. It focuses on what to verify before asking JEKE for a configuration quote, not on generic CNC definitions.
Decision factors to check
| Decision factor | Why it matters | What to send or confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier identity | Confirms who manufactures and supports the machine | Check company page, certificates and factory evidence |
| Configuration list | Prevents different suppliers quoting different machines | Confirm table size, tools, camera, vacuum and software |
| Sample result | Proves material fit before payment | Keep sample video and photos with order file |
| After-sales terms | Determines what happens after delivery | Confirm remote support, spare parts and warranty |
What to send before asking for a quote
- Material name, thickness and whether the material is sheet, roll, layered, printed or compressed.
- Maximum material size, largest finished part and expected daily or weekly output.
- Drawing file format such as DXF, AI, PDF or PLT, plus photos of the current process if available.
- Required functions such as through cutting, creasing, marking, punching, kiss-cut, V-cut or camera positioning.
Common buying mistakes
- Paying a deposit before receiving a written configuration list.
- Accepting generic sample videos instead of your real material test.
- Not confirming voltage, packing, documents and training before shipment.
Evidence this page should collect
- PI and configuration sheet
- Sample testing record
- Certificate scans
- Packing and support terms

Buyer FAQ
Can JEKE recommend a machine without a material sample?
JEKE can give an initial direction from material type, thickness and application, but a real sample test is safer before confirming the final configuration.
Is the cheapest quote the best quote?
No. Compare table size, tools, camera system, vacuum hold-down, software workflow, spare parts, training and after-sales support before comparing price.
What is the fastest way to move forward?
Send material details, photos, drawings and target output through the JEKE contact page so the recommendation can be tied to a real production workflow.
