Hi there,

A few years back I built a machine with the help of this forum. Fast forward 6 years later, I don't have the time or patience to build one from scratch and would like to explore other options.

I'm searching for a well built kit, size 1000x1500cm / 4' x 4' roughly. Mostly to cut wood, but also with the ability to work small aluminium parts.

I've seen these kits:
- https://shop.carbide3d.com/collections/cnc-routers/products/shapeoko-pro-cnc-router?variant=32912259186749
- https://bulkman3d.com/product/1000x1500mm-ultimate-bee-cnc-router-machine-full-kit-ball-screw-quiet-transmission/ (gantry doesn't look very stiff)
- https://www.avidcnc.com/pro4848-4-x-4-cnc-router-kit-p-251.html

I still have a bunch of good quality electronics (2.2kw spindle + 4 x nema 23 steppers + 4 x AM882 drivers + complete custom made electronics box) from the box I built a few years back: http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/9333-Wiring-Diagram-check?p=82813#post82813

There may be other options like custom built machines, I can drive with a trailer somewhere for sure to pick one up.

Anyhow, any advice appreciated.

Wishing you already all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year !
