3020t cnc

I will be mainly cutting stab wood and resin with the alluminium. Are these routers not very good?

They are at the lower end of junk and trouble as you can tell by the price.

Can you recommend anything or am I going to struggle getting one for £300 ish

Are you wanting this as a hobby to play with if so it's a good toy to play with.

To get a good set of drives and motors would cost more than that.

Sorry to put a damper on it

Yes it's only as a hobby to be honest, I have wanted to learn about cnc for a few years now so I have decided to bite the bullet but I'm overwhelmed at all the information and technical details involved.

Don't lose sight of the previous thread where I warn of the frustration of using a poor device. You'll likely get much better results from your CMD300 (albeit the cutting volume is much reduced).

Sorry I only just noticed you had replied to me doddy, thanks for the advice. I have now decided to scrap the idea of the chinese cnc but I really would like to leave my mill as a manual one so my question is are there any machines available for about £1500 and any company's that would finance such a small amount?

[Richardtweed]

When I do a google search the only machines that come up are industrial size
