Hi,

I'm very new to the whole CNC world. I started out it looking into it as a means to an end but now can't get enough of it all. I've been looking into getting a CNC mill for a while and have been reading various forums for a while but have learnt Al I can in the back ground so thought I'd get involved and ask some questions / seek some help.

I tried to leave a question on another thread so if that one comes up in really sorry!!

I'm looking into getting a mill with a small workspace for work about 60 x 60 x 10 (watch case making)
im looking to spend about £1000 and that includes any modifications I'd need to do to the mill. It's intended for prototyping as opposed to manufacturing on any scale but I will be machining stainless steel so it needs to be sturdy.

Ideally I need tolerances of 0.05mm but I'm not worried about how long a piece will take to machine etc I just need to start prototyping so can't spend too much time modifying and playing around with it which I can see is easily done.

any advice or help would be much appreciated!

kind regards,

Chris
