hiya guys,
I have posted on here asking for some help cutting some parts.
But whilst I am waiting for responses I thought I'd find out about running my own.
I know something about CNC but not enough so thought I'd ask.
here goes:
I am looking for a small CNC machine. I have seen the Proxxon MF70 cnc ready along with various router style small CNC's.
the thing is what is the benifit of either.
1) Could the router style to the same job as the pillar style and if not what are the pro's and con's?
I don't intend to create massive parts so a small CNC machine is fine. I know that I will need a piece of software to control the machine.
2) What CAM software would work fine with windows 10 64 bit.
all this being said, I have a very good back ground in 3D printing and the use of 3D slicing software but having had a go on Mach 3 it's a bit of white man's magic to me.
3) Are there any free online tutorials I can access to learn how to do CNC?
I hope that you guys can help me out with advice. Admittedly I am trying to do this as cheap as possible to start off with. Mainly not to loose too much if I decide to bail.
I thank you in advance
Rebekak Anderson
