Any experiences with Routout CNC machines?

[Ross77]

I got distracted whilst posting so didn't see the previous 2 posts

I would say its good for wood etc but I tired to mill aluminum and its completely useless for it. The Z axis plate that the router mounts to is plastic so it flexs to much to mill any metals.

no need to say any more i think I couldn't say it as i haven't used or tried it but here it is straight from the horses mouth.

A good test is to get them to cut a test engraving file on alloy or brass with some fine lettering. Inspect it carefully then get them to re run the same file.

If the machine is good it will just clean up the odd burrs.
If not you will get wide letters and double cutting.

Shout up if you want a test file.

The machines repeatability is exellent, I do loads of engraving (mostly on the PCB's but I have done a little brass and ally) and I have had to restart programs, its never made the lines any wider when I did. But you cant do much more than engrave when it comes to metals.
