Beginner in CNC trying to decide on number of axes

[Greeny]

Hi,
Ox's aren't very well thought of here, certainly not for aluminium. http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/9738-...OX-cnc-machine

In terms of bang for buck, the general concensus i have picked up is you will get a lot better machine if you make it yourself.
Take a look at some of the builds here to get a feeling of what can be done. http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/253-DIY-Router-Build-Logs

If you are thinking about buying, post the specific machine here and ask for opinions, there are alot of very knowledgable people here who will give you an honest opinion. Try to include as much info as possible such what materials you intent to cut. General questions like "whats the best cnc machine to buy" rarely get replies.

Cheers
