I need some suggestions from teams who have experience with small cnc mills in a high school technology lab. My principal has a thousand or so of unspent technology money and I have first crack at it. I teach classes on Inventor and was thinking the next logical step would be to have students actually create some of thier projects using MasterCAM or ... I really don't know what I need to know to look for such machines. I visited one site this afternoon and found table top mills that could handle up to a 12" by 6" part.
What do I need to be looking for and where? What is a good price? I am thinking that we could then begin to design robot parts.
Thanks in advance,
APS
