    If Building, I am sure that a fixed gantry machine would be best for you, but I personally think that you would be better to go down the milling machine route, not a manual machine converted, but a purpose made CNC mill. Something like a Boxford or a Denford machine. There are quite a few that have already been changed to run with Mac3, but I understand that the later machines used a usb interface and had good CASD/CAM software. G.

    I know a guy with a Denford nova mill on a stand with plastic roll over cover including the software (probably needs converting to Mach3) I am sure it has ball screws all round. It looks very clean. If anybody is interested I will pm his number. ..Clive
