| Question for you CNC guys: buy or build (might have some free linear bearings) |
| << < (3/3) |

Break it down in hobby terms... Buy it. Build 3 machines, keep 1, sell 2. Equals a free expensive tool and probably some extra cash in your pocket. From a business stand point though, $1500 is peanuts. |
| Howard_Casto:
Maybe when my health improves. I'm honestly not sure how well cabs would sell in this area.... the coal industry tanking is kind of hurting the community. If I wanted to build one right and make any kind of a profit I would be looking at $1500+. Wood is crazy expensive now for some reason.... not a big fan of mdf as anything I build needs to last forever. ;) |

I don't get that thing. It's a router with a viewfinder. You'd still need to have absolutely perfect eye and rock steady hands. Seems ridiculously overpriced to me. |
| Howard_Casto:
No it's nearly magical. The two handles of the router can move and tilt independently and coupled with the natural torque of the bit it adjusts to more closely follow the line as you are cutting. It can also turn itself off if you try to move too far away. They say accuracy is improved to a few mms. |
