Thanks, I'm itching to get making things, and I have a plan.

I think a little 3040 will do me to make the my plastic bits I'm interested in. I'll see if better spindles are available but I might just get a cheap one and then get a water cooled replacement ready for when it dies.

This way I can get into the hobby quickly while I design a better and bigger machine or two :)

Will be searching eBay now, if anyone has suggestions let me know. I won't hit the buy button until at least Sunday.
