A guy I work with has one not sure if it is the DIY or another brand. Has a nice little setup the he build himself for wood engraving. We are working on one for metal engraving now. |

My best buddy moved here from WA to work his dad's custom gun shop, they had a falling out, but he's still doing all kinds of CNC stuff. I helped at the shop for a while prior to the falling out, but... I'll see if he's aware of this DIY set-up. VERY cool! |

Very cool. You don't appreciate how cool CNC is until you try and make a few things on typical manual shop machine tools like a mill and lathe. Try to cut a radius on a part using a conventional mill: about the only way to do it is make a one-off jig. CNC allows you to move the cutting head along all three axes simultaneously and smoothly which lets you make some REALLY cool parts. |
