Hi,

My interest in cnc has been fuelled ever since I recently discovered that the CAD package I am using has a basic CAM bolt on.

So I started looking for a rig to use at home, that would machine any material, to any shape, to any size and still have change from £5K........ I know right!...... How hard could it be!? lol

I think what I am looking for is a Router, capable of being adapted to different roles, with an approx A2 machining area, z axis around 200 mm, capable of milling aluminium on occasion for as close to £5K as possible. Preferably off the shelf.
Hopefully achievable.

I have already found some interesting information here regarding machines of this type but I realise I have just scratched the suface.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andy
