I'm not sure if there is a specific forum this should go in or not but I was wondering how many of us out there have/use CNC machines for any Arcade part builds.  Like control panel etching/Plexi cuttting/etc.

The reason I ask is as I've become addicted to Kickstarter I came across an awesome project where by to basically create your own CNC machine and I'm wondering if anyone else in the arcade community has/uses a CNC and what they use it specifically for.  I would use the CNC for more than just my arcade machines but it would be awesome to hear what other people may be doing.

Here's the project - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ajquick/cnc-building-blocks

Here's mine:

Here's something I've done with it:

And another project that has been neglected...
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=111007.msg1197635#msg1197635

For software, I design almost exclusively in Solidworks, create my G-Code with SolidCAM and run the machine with EMC2

My machine has been severely neglected though.  It's not in a hugely convenient place, especially when my bedroom a little messy (the machine is in my bedroom closet.)  Currently it's covered with random electronics and other project materials.  I think it's about time I clean it off and start making dust.

We use CNC with these cabinet kits:

Interesting project.  I've thought about a CNC machine more than a few times.  But speaking of Kickstarter, right now I'm waiting on one of these: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/printrbot/printrbot-your-first-3d-printer?ref=live

Kind of in the same vein.  I'm already thinking about the arcade parts possibilities.  ;D  But with a Kickstarter project, it's best to have a lot of patience.  After the Printr Bot,  a CNC machine may be in my future.  Hopefully this one takes off.

I used a CNC machine to make my bartop... and in a couple of weeks Ill be using it to make my Ms. Pac cocktail table...  This machine is a little overkill for arcade making,  but I need to do something to keep it busy!  Here check it out:
