Hello from sunny France

[JETLAG03]

Hi folks.

Well I jumped ship and have lived and worked in France for over 15 years, now a "wrinkly" I no longer work and pass my time by trying to keep out of the way of 'er indoors and flying my microlight aircraft around France.



I am now wanting to create aluminium parts for my bird and presently learning Fusion 360 for the cad/cam part of the process. So far so good.

I need help because I know less than zero regards cnc milling machines.

What I think I need is a machine that will.

have a working surface probably 600x400 able to work on a piece 70/80 mm high min
able to work aluminium au4g and/or 7075
Have a reasonable level of accuracy, but I am not looking for space craft quality


I have a computer that is presently running Fusion 360 with a I7 processor.
What other control units/parts will I need

Not wanting to break the bank but what sort of price scale would I be looking at, is it worth looking for a used machine from someone on here
who is looking to upgrade.

Looking forward to your replies/comments and suggestions

Phil
