We have in our primary meeting/work area a Sherline CNC mill and a CNC lathe.
Total cost was about $2000.00, plus tooling, most of which we fabricated. The machine is low powered enough so that a mistake wouldn't be fatal or apendage-removing, but still decent enough for chunking out parts. We home-brewed the CNC control setup to save money, it costed maybe $200.00 for the controller and power supply, old computer and shareware CNC software. Currently we write all our CNC code BY HAND, but when you have lots of parts to make, it's worth it. |
