Mini cnc

Didn't say it was shit, said it was a starter package.
Take the electronics off it and you have plastic sides that warp and flex, leadscrews with bearing that are just hammered into holes in the plastic. Probably the all in one Toshiba drives, the early cheap ones so no other than electronics and the rest there isn't much to go wrong with it.

If you look at it as a project to learn you have lost nothing, that experience is invaluable. If you are expecting a working machine with just a few tweaks then I think you will be disappointed.

It really depends on your expectations.

Thanks for the advice. In fact I wasnt looking at a project to learn anything from, not that I woudnt, everydays a school day and all that.
I came across this machine while looking for another benchtop machine to run alongside the one I already have, a small mill running very well on Linuxcnc.
I was just surprised at what I thought might be the potential of such a small machine. I have noted the above advice though. :)

Personally I'm looking for something else which is why I havent come on here saying Ive just bought this And..
. Ive posted another thread in General in regards to that, not sure if I posted it in the right place though.

Mehh... Absolute rip off. In the fire, as Dean said. Even from acrylic, you will be surprised how bad it will be. Its like buying a cardboard car for the price of the 4 wheels of a real car. Where this will drive you to? And you will learn absolutely nothing in the process, except to listen to advice maybe
