Is it possible...

Hi Matt.

Thanks for the helpfull reply.

That's the kind of post I was hoping for. In my eyes this machine will be just a prototype for something a little more substantial.

Currently it's going to be used a few times a week. But if it actually works well then more and more hopefully. I want it as a tool to assist my wife in her craft business.

I work full time as an It manager but my dad who has his own wood working shop has offered floor space for it to go. He's offered to go "in" with me on the project too. Yes - I'm sure he wants to use it afterwards too.

I really want to keep the build to a few hundred pounds. But realise that there is goin to be a minimum that's going to need to be spent.

So hopefully a lot of advice and second hand components will be found here.

You may be overlooking the cost of electrics ?
