Hi, i am now prepared to start my cnc router, with the help of a friend.

It will be made to cut up to aluminum, both for pleasure and hopefully for selling bits and bobs.

I will be using 60mm x 60mm x3mm steel box for the build.

The size will be 1500mm x 1000mm, and i will be using a 2.2kw water cooled spindle.

I will be building this once, to last the test of time.

I asked Chai for advice and what i would require, and this is what he supplied me.
