Hi everyone, I'm a new member from the UK looking to get into the world of CNC. I am interested in getting one of those cheap router/engravers for around the £200 mark. They all seem to vary slightly in their design, so any consumer advice or recommendations would be appreciated! One of the main uses I have for one of these machines is to create intricate headstock inlay designs for electric guitar necks. The potential issue with this plan is that it would require me to fix the headstock itself to the bed of the machine, with the rest of the neck hanging over the edge. Does this sound like a bad idea? I'm sure I could affix the machine to my work surface and/or add a counterweight of some kind if it's inclined to tip over, but I wonder whether the overhanging weight will cause the machine to flex in a way that would affect its operation? Any thoughts?
