Re: CNC Router/Mill

Ok, I have no clue what is what when it comes to CNC but I do know that if we wanted to start an FRC team next year a CNC mill would come in quite handy (since we need a mill anyway). Since I am cheap and we would only be using this mill for FRC how would something like this work?

What would we be limited to with this machine? I know some one here said bearing holes would be hard to cut and it would also take sometime to make anything. Anything else I should be aware of?
