    Hi All

    I have been on this site previously, but was not financially ready to purchase a ready made CNC Router machine.
    However i did receive some great advice from members in particular from "jazzcnc", i am in a much healthier position now going forward and. i am now leaning towards attempting to build my own,

    i ideally want a cutting area of around 24" x 24" will be routing/engraving into MDF, softwood maybe plastic
    looked at the 6040s available on ebay, but i recall advice stating for around £2000+ i could build myself a much better cnc than i could buy.

    Are there any cnc plans that i could follow/purchase as a starting point, maybe a plan that is suitable for my needs with suggestions on what motors / spindles materials ect?

    So i am about to trawl through the self build section to read about what to buy what not to buy, but please feel free to offer any advice you feel may help or be relevant to building a cnc router. for example i read that kress spindles are good?
    anyway looking forward to posting lots more questions to the CNC Wise wizards who live on this here forum.

    Thanks guys

    Pete
