I live in Salisbury Wiltshire and I am very interested in what it is possible to achieve at home in my workshop with a desktop CNC routing/drilling machine.

My background is in electronics manufacture - specifically PCB manf. so I am in the process of starting up a small sideline(Simple Circuits) making PCBs and wish to go to the next level by employing CNC to get greater accuracy and to speed up turnaround.

My knowledge of CNC is based on what I could output from Graphicode software (as a front end engineer for several companies) , and operating Lenz , Micromat , Trudril and Excellon machines in the work place.

I have been on the internet looking at Fireball , Microcarve , the Chinese 3020/3040 machines , MYDIYCNC and a number of other similar price/format machines.

regards to all - Kev
