It has just about everything that should be avoided when building a router.
It would keep Dean (JAZZCNC) busy for a month:beer: ...Clive

Hey! Where did you get the pic of my machine!?!..........Nah, just kidding, looks too solid to be my machine! :pirate:
To be fair though, without knowing what the builder intended it to cut, its hard to say if this is a success or steaming pile!
It's for tattoos :highly_amused:
Just MDF and ali up to 3/8 :joker: ..CliveQuote:

Hey that's Still better machine than some Dicey Merchants sell. . .Lol :whistle:Quote:

A poorly designed CNC Router on the internet, whatever next?
Thanks for the link Jonathan.
After looking at the guys site I got to say I'm impressed. He has built the whole thing on a shoestring budget, created his own circuit boards (stepper drivers, BOBs, Relay etc) and has listed it all for download, good man! :applause:
Next is this one- 21 000 GBP on fleabay :abnormal:Quote:

Was that seriously on Ebay for £21,000.? . . . I thought silyavski had accidentally typed an extra zero and it was £21.00 . .LolQuote:

Did anyone see the recent auction on fleabay for a second hand 8x4 MD it went for 11k !!!!!!!! they are only 13k new. there are some crazy people out there!!!!!
I totally agree with cncjim. This guy worked from scratch, on a budget. We should not criticise and carp. It demeans the forum. I hope he had a lot of fun making it, and it is a bonus if he can get some nice work from his efforts. The only suggestion I would make is to face some bolts the other way, just to make it neater.
Just bear in mind that we don't all cut 6" chrome moly steel at warp speed to the fraction of an angstrom.
On the other hand : the cynical peddlers of crap machines deserve all the shit in the universe thrown at them.
