Chinese 6040 CNC Router Advise Needed

It was a Serious offer

I know. I expect you've made a similar offer to the Bob who started this thread.

I wasn't trying to prove anything.

So you weren't offering to make it to prove that it can be done for that price?

The machine you built While being a nice strong thing built with care and thought and a credit to you, I wouldn't exactly say it pushes boundaries either.?

I have neither claimed that it pushes any boundaries, or intend to make that claim.

Also you say 2K material costs which I don't disbelieve for minute but what your not saying is the hours of work that's needed to machine and Assemble it.

Obviously. The point I was making is that for someone who has got sufficient free time, they can make a machine worth owning within a £2k budget.

Add this to the Mix and you'd probably need another 2K to make it worth your while.?

I didn't charge anywhere near that, but those were special circumstances so your point is valid.
