First off hello I'm jason and have been lurking for a while trying to digest all the info and opinions everyone has given.
currently I complete all my work by hand on my mini sieg x1mill and sc2 lathe not the best I know but they complete the work I need very well lol.
now the problem, I want to have a cnc machine that can mill aluminium parts for RC projects and can mill wooden frames for the Mrs's projects.
So do I modify the x1 for cnc and ignore the fact the table is too small to complete the Mrs work or do I by a cnc router and only be able to complete her work, I am stuck for ideas.
I currently have a budget of 1k (I already have the software/PC) and am not keen on buying an eBay cnc router as I read so many bad things and with me not working I can't afford to waste a grand, I'm not over keen at building a cnc router as I don't know enough about them to build them well enough but if i need to i will.
So my long winded first question to you all is ....what would you do ?
Sorry for the long explanation and thanks for any help advice you can give
Jason
