Hi George, just starting out myself. As you said some of us are too old to be hired and in my case I have medical issues as well. I have gone for the KillerBee machine from RatRig in Portugal. I will have to wait about 8 weeks as they are very busy with orders. I have decided on most of the other items, AXBB_E-ethernet controllor, possible the Mafell milling motor, but still to make up my mind about the software. I am considering using V Carve or the Pro version as my machine is more than 600mm. Would like to know how you are getting on with V Carve.
