Hi Guys
My first post.
I have limited budget but like most people would like to get best bang for my buck (actually pounds).
I want to cut glassfibre and carbon fibre sheet up to 5-8 mm.
Various timber up to 25mm (ply, mdf, some hardwoods)
I would also like to cut Aluminium upto 30mm (nothing too fancy just brackets for 22-25mm tubes).
I have relatively good experience at various engineering and workshop skills so am not put off self building.
However I do not know much about CNC builds other than some basics from trawling the web. (which brought me here)
My Budget is around £500-700
I quite like the look of this machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g0k9oSLejQ
But there is limited info on it.
I am looking at these two items to buy:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Revolution...QAAOSwP4ZZwxpL
or
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cnc-Kit-3-...oAAOSwhYdZ2y6u
The spindle:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EU-STOCK-...8AAOSwuMZZGX~J
or
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EU-Quality...UAAOSwuk1Zu4L3
Would this spindle be good powerful enough to do what I want? and those driver packages and stepper motors how suitable are they or are there better options, I see some are using arduinos but that package including motors seem reasonable?
Any recommendations on design,,,,,(I'd like to build as big as possible)
I was looking at the Ox on youtube and elsewhere but unsure what design would be best and where to start from here?
