Ron,
I just bought the mill to practice on until I know exactly what I need. Admittedly, I'll be a little lost without CNC capabilities for a while . (I use a Shopbot as my main machine. The IH is going to be used to expand the kinds of projects that I can do. One good thing is that I can use the Shopbot as an $18,000 scriber to spot-drill holes and lightly scribe layout lines in alunimun before manually milling on the IH.)
Aaron gave me a good look at his Light Industrial version CNC, which is what I'd really like to buy, but it's probably safer to first see what I need before buying something that might not best fit my needs. |
