| DaOld Man:
Looks like a neat way to engrave wood. |
| JDFan:
Would probably take a while to get used to but seems to work well for a $55 item - could make an interesting tool to engrave the side art into a build :cheers: |

I was looking at these a while back. I would sincerely be more into it, except for the fact that 3d printing opened the door for me to enter the world of CNC at an absurdly cheap price. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1671517 |

Yep, , it doesn't get big enough to cut cabinet sides, but big enough for a control panel or signs or fun projects. You can also have boards hang over, so perfect for engraving on wood larger than your cut area. The adjustment I had to learn from 3d printing to a CNC like this is that a 3d printer relies on knowing the entire dimensions of your print bed. You place something in the middle of your bed and it does the job. This kind of CNC just starts everything from the starting position of your router, which you generally start in the corner. You have to mentally be aware of the size of your job so it doesn't try to cut outside the work area. |
