Re: CNC Machines
We actually do have a CNC, but the one we have I don't find all to useful. The primary reason is that it is too small...it has a travel of ~10". At that travel, there's not very much to do on it, and most times I'd rather do it by hand (just this Friday, in fact, I made a gearbox plate by hand, after the CNC almost screwed up the first one). Basically, I'd prefer a larger manual mill over a tiny CNC like this.
Also, building a CNC machine is actually a great excercise (another member and I have built 2 now), but you won't get nearly the precision you need, unless you make the parts on a CNC or manual mill. |
