Horses for courses.
I have two small 'CNC' machines here that diamond drag engrave.
One is converted from a £20 Roland throw out from a school but it works and earns money.
The other is a custom made 'machine' with travels of 100mm in X by 30mm in Z and an A axis. It's also a drag engraver.
Both machines are in production, The Roland does 4 different jobs, the rotary machine does 7.
In both cases the computer and monitor needed is twice as big as the machines. In fact both machines are in drawers as there is no need to take up valuable worktop space and I just pull a drawer open, swap the job, press start and close the drawer.
The Roland is slated to have the cheap plastic blue and green £115 nasty controller and the rotary is slated to have a DSCV1.1 both to be mounted inside the drawer with the machines.
That gets rid of two computers, two monitors, two keyboards and two mice plus all the rats nest of cables.Last edited by John S; 01-11-2016 at 12:54 AM.
