Forgive my ignorance as I am new to cnc ,well , that is ithas taken me 6 years toget tothe pointwere I have bough nearly all the stuff I need.
And I was unaware that geting a steel carcase made up to order was going to cost me less than £145 , which is what it is costing me to get the cad files laser cut and laminating them to the 18mm birch ply.
But I am already committed to the system 4 set as that was here yesterday, and quite frankly was more than I could really afford, so I'm stuck with that, besides the machime won't be cuting anything harder than 18mm ply and mostly foam and wax patterns for castings in resin , aluminium, brass and hopefully in time bronze!

To be honest with myself I'm building the bloody machine to prove I can.
