How about a mycncuk cnc router project?

[Jonathan]

merely to come up with a set of general parameters for a starter machine

So what parameters would you suggest? Lets see if 1% or 2% of people agree with them...

Only way a machine will get built is if one person decides to build what 'he' thinks is right and offers it for sale.

Tempting...

I will post the drawings for a medium size machine I've designed soon, but I doubt anyone would use them since you can't make it without a milling machine & CNC router & lathe, which is likely to be a problem with any general design people come up with here.
