Does anyone want to build me a cnc router?

Peter, wax lettering for concrete casting ! there used to be a firm somewhere in Cheshire that made wax letters / numbers for concrete and plaster casting you just stick them to your base mould and cast after casting the letters are scraped washed out with hot water. that might be a cheaper way to do custom castings.

A small cnc desktop machine would be ok to make masters moulds in silicone so you could cast your own letters / numbers. Been more than 20 years since I sold my precast concrete business and totally forgot about the wax letters until I read Robs post.

Hi Mike,

now that sounds great, {if they are cheap enough} although i was looking forward to having a play with a new toy{cnc} i can see that the wax option is a good one, can you recall how small in size you could go with your letters / numbers?
anyhow thanks Mike, i will google search for that company today. i have found metal reverse cast letters used by foundry's but they are to time consuming to set up.

What cutting area would you want.? . . . . I have a friend who's thinking about a larger machine so he may just sell is old machine, it's one I built him so know it's good and well looked after.

Edit: You have my number so give me a ring if you want to know more.!
