WOW. Thank you so much for all that information NeoMoses! I think what I want is either the Taig or sherline that you mentioned at the end. Mainly because I want something that is fully cnc that can be plugged into my computer and used out of the box. Also for the most part all I plan on making is the waterblocks like the ones I linked to in my first post which are mainly copper or aluminum, and for making custom parts for small hobby gas/electric cars. And whatever I have not thought of that is nice and small. I just don’t know which is a better machine, the Taig or the Sherline. Converting a larger machine to cnc would seem like the best route overall simply because it wont limit me to such small objects, but I wouldn’t even know where to begin on doing that and I don't really have the desire to convert one. So I guess my question now is which is better, the Taig or the Sherline? |
