    Hi Doc7,

    Your research seems sound. But if a 5 axis machine is what you need then you are in for some pain ��
    Either pain in the wallet as to buy a 5 axis machine is VERY expensive.
    Or pain building your own, which would need a VERY high level of skill.
    Not to mention the high level of skill required in 5 axis cad/cam.
    In a nutshell, a true 5axis cnc is well beyond most hobbyists.

    It might be an idea to try a small 3 or 4 axis machine first and then decide how to move forward based on your experience with that.
    Cheers
