Ah ah Dean is fairly local to me and they only deliver local so no point giving you their number down in the deep south. . .Lol

Thanks anyways I don’t buy often or use a great deal when I do, just a few meter lengths.

Dean I’ve just given your email to a bloke at work, he’s been wanting a cnc router for a while.

He’s been asking me questions over the months and keeps sending me links to pre built low spec machines, so I’ve said just contact the bloke who built mine.

On a side note

Did some maintenance on mine last weekend, just a clean and re pack bearings and what not.

Also checked positioning and backlash

It’s not changed in over 3.5 years of use and it’s been used, I was shocked tbh

Back lash is under 0.01mm my DTI only measures in 0.01 increments but I’d guess at 0.005, and positional error well at 10m/min full travels it’s bang on the money

That's good to hear, always nice to get feedback like that.! . . You still cutting Carbon fibre and Ali parts for RC Cars.? Heath's lad (guy who deliverd machine with me) is racing Model touring cars and he's an expert crasher so might have some business for you. ..Lol

Credit mate it’s really holding up to tight tolerance all these years

Carbons the main material and the off plastic run not so much alloy now just makes far to much mess, and messes my spoil board up with using mist so only cut this for personal 1 offs that don’t require mist.

Been using some new cutting data and halved the previous machining time in carbon, been using this for around 18 months now.

Well if your mate needs anything just cad the parts up and the crashes will be cheap to fix
