Unfortunately they are rather expensive. We were initially quoted $1000 for just the x and y (which is all you need)
I am trying to get the price down...
I have a coolant system installed on mine (Trico MD1200) that turns on and off via the CNC control.
What controller are you going to use? I can also build you one of these.
