Re: X-Carve as a budget CNC?

Tooling for a router should not run you $500. You mainly need clamps and cutters, which won't be more than $200 altogether. However I don't have a whole lot of experience with them, so I can't say what else you would need compared to a standard mill.
You will probably need measuring tools and the like, and that will run you a lot depending on where you buy them.
