an interesting read this thread has been, and sort of reminds me on when i joined this forum
and wanting to build a dual cnc machine on the cheap.
and after getting much advice from the usual members, i decided to take the advice and not waste money on the expensive cheap route.!! ( as dean puts it :) )
and after seeing a picture of the mill i have converted to cnc.
i thought what a good idea.. so im saving up for good electronics.
that will serve me well and can be moved to another build later down the line if required.
