Hi Bob,

Welcome to the best CNC forum on planet Aqua!

Just some thoughts that spring to mind . . . . .

What material would you need to machine? Aluminium Alloys, Brass, Acrylics, Hardwood, Laminates, Stone, etc.

Would it be possible for you to post some sketches of the types of products you would be making?

Keep in mind that there are normally guys on this forum who could produce prototypes or whatever for you (if helpful to reduce pressure on yourself in the earlier stages of your new venture).

Good luck, and please don't mention the cricket,

Andy
