Quick intro from a newbie in North Wales

[Brianh]

Hi Brianh

I will just say that any machine that uses rubber wheels on an uncovered aluminium extrusion in the presence of a bunch of sawdust is likely going to be a problem.
Profiled linear rails are very much superior and designed for purpose.

I have to admit that was one of my concerns.

Given everything I have learned in the few days since joining this forum and having spoken to Dean from JAZZCNC I am now quite certain that the Ooznest or equivalent machine will not be suitable, especially in the longer term (and I can’t afford to buy twice). It may be a useful tool to learn about CNC but would be one heck of an expensive lesson.

Thank you to everyone for your input

Regards

Brian
