suggested equipment to retro fit a 6040 yoocnc

I see a lot of "just build it yourself" type posts, but the majority of these posts overlook the serious amount of time involved wrt building yer own ....if you place a value on your own time, it's simply way cheaper to have someone partial to a bowl of rice use their time building frame vs. someone who has a hulking UK mortgage to feed!

Perhaps if it's a rite of passage, or a hobby/interest (or if what you seek doesn't exist) then building your own begins to make a bit more sense, but for the majority who just want to get up & running with a modest machine ...then buying one off the shelf with the known limitations they bring (awful electronics etc) can be quite compelling.

I imported a small machine from Taiwan (just the frame) .... for the money I think it's great ...will it cut ali? Nope (but I didn't require it to)...it was ordered on a Monday & I was up & running cutting stuff 10 days later ....whereas 10 days when you're spec'ing your own machine is about the time it takes just to obsess over the motor mounts!
