bumpity bump so any progress or pics on this?? love to see the progress on these things.

facesmiths:
about price by the way it really would depend on the size of the mill you want and what accessories you wanted. that pice was a turn key system that would last just about forever with the ability to change out and make your own parts if need be as well as it can replicate it's self so you would never need to buy anouther unit. the materials it was made from would greatly effect the price too. there is a guy that makes plans you can follow using MDF and drill rod that costs around $75 total for the machine it self. My biggest problem is the electronics of it which I have been working on my own version that would be much cheaper to make and all. I just have to get around to building my DVD burning laser diode PCB unit. that will be interesting. the second thing would be motors as they can be expensive but I have a design that actually would be easier to design the electronics for and would just be so steam punk that it would not be funny :D

If I ever succeed at doing what I want I will have a unit that would be as easy to use and as cheap as a laser printer of the same area for cutting. 8 & a half inch by 11 inches for like $200 but you would still have to supply the computer.

All of my projects have been put on hold as I am out due to an injury. I'll be back at it in a few weeks hopefully and can get some pics when the project officially gets started.

You have my interest. I've looked into a CNC table before, but the initial investment was always a deterrent.

I'm out in CA and I'm facing grim times so I'll have to sock this away as a future project. I would still like the information anyways.

DaOld Man:
Im interested in this project too.
however, it is on the growing list of things to do, so it may be sometime next year before I can honestly start.
I appreciate all your posts and info, this will come in handy then.
