After spending months undecided on which direction to go, finally invested in a Router CNC, we've decided to call 'Chip'.
Chip isn't here yet, won't be until lockdown ends, until then I'm in learning mode. I've done some work at one of these 'fablabs', but that was many years ago, in the interim anything we couldn't make here we bought in CNC punched, water or lasercut.
Background to this is we now make and sell numerous small products in thin sheet aluminium, which to date have been all 100% hand made, every hole hand punched, thousands of them... It's time!
Space was hugest issue, so at the moment only jumped on a 1m x 1m machine, but as most of our products are small, shouldn't be an issue.
I've seen the forum pop-up a few times whilst I've been researching, so figured it was time to jump in.
