hi guys i work as a cnc machinist on a xyz machine i have only been doing it a year or so, so im pretty new to it but iv picked up the programing side very quick...
now heres the big question! i want to stat up my own little business makeing small custom car parts nothing bigger than 110mm in diameter... now i can do a little amount of milling at work so i want a smaller machine at home so i can do the detail engraving that would take to long at work!
so my first option is a cnc3020 just due to the price of it...
then theres the 6040 which is a bit big and slightly expensive
then theres this CNC Routers - Mill 2000 milling Maching (http://www.routoutcnc.com/mill2000.html)
its all going to be made out of ally mostly using 1-4mm cutters tops so its not going to be running fast feeds really butdo need the speed...
heres a few pics of what I'm making
