Newbie observation on the CNC market

Definitely NOT

I have seen this route taken on many forums, there are some on Yahoo setup for designing the perfect lathe.

They have been running 5+ years and still no design.
There will never be a one size suits all.

I can see it being an endless source of conflict between the "I know bestest" clan :)
it would keep the buggers busy though

Blimey, have I just had an epiphany?

I think a radical new design, not all based on standard parts, is exactly what is needed.

If you think the home build has achieved perfection then we disagree.

The beauty with the DIY route to me means Custom built, Custom to the users needs. Whether that be size, shape, speed, ability or what ever and so like John S says one design doesn't fit everybody. . . Never can, never will.
Marks also correct it would turn into one big brawl.!! Bans would be getting dished out left right and centre, probably starting with me first.. Lol

Some things are just the way they are and meant to be and it takes a certain amount of effort to gain the reward. If we can help guide new folks away from the rocks then that's all I think is needed.?
