[Boyan Silyavski]

Thanks for the fast reply, fortunately the plans are free. We already have a steel box table frame to mount it on.

I'm currently looking at a few items on eBay

What are your opinions on these machines?

The false economy of chinese machines :
-no support on hardware if anything not working
-no support on software
-no support on learning
-shipping fee????
-VAT and customs +20 ???%
-most of these finish with at least the breakout board reaped out and exchanged for a proper one, recommended thing is to do for all electronics
-not even any forum support

Just have a look at the forums how many people can not make work their Chinese breakout boards, laser, plasma and cnc machine. What more to say?
