Does anyone want to build me a cnc router?

[totally useless]

Well in all Honesty No they are Ok for learning and getting your feet wet with CNC.!! But if you want longevity and decent quality work for prolonged periods then they do fall short. The Electronics are the worst area which is important for a good CNC machine.

To be honest if you haven't got the means to build your own then I suggest you look for a Second hand 6040 spending the least you can. Then just use it untill you have saved some more money. While in the mean time you'll have a better understanding of CNC and what you want from a machine then look at building your own or had time to make the 6040 earn enough so it pays for a new better machine.

Forget Kit's as most I've seen are weak and flimsy being nothing more than get your feet wet toys.!!

If I wasn't so busy I'd offer to help you build a machine but unfortunatly I've no time free for a long time.!

Thanks again jazz, i totally understand you or anyone else being too busy, i myself are stretched for time, but your input so far is already helping, i will be having a trawl through the site this weekend {with the wife's blessing} and i am sure i will come across lots of helpful info to help me along.

cheeers again
