Ye, avoid Marchant Dice at all costs. Lots of shortcuts in their kit, not good value.

Could this be of interest - http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/11055...-Phase-CS-Labs ?

When I still very green I looked at the Merchant dice machines and salivated but thank god I didn't waste my money on their over priced shite lol when I got into building I realised that building your own isn't about saving money it's about knowing your machine is built properly.

I think all people who want a cnc should build there own because what you learn is priceless and if you can't cad it out then you probably don't want one as much as you thought.

Maybe it's just me but if you're making other peoples models then I think you're better off haggling with a machine shop to make them for you and make profit for doing nothing it only becomes interesting to me when you're making your own creations ;)

Of course some of you guys are machine shops so I would use you and add 10-15% for profit depending on the job.
