So I will be ordering this beast tomorrow. It with a few other needed parts IE bits, collets and holders came out to a hair under $1200. I have factored a budget of around 17-1800. So that leaves me roughly 5-600 left so I know it will be tight. I have no problems upgrading motors at a later date, but the main thing I will be taking on first is 6061 aluminum. Which 4-500 oz motors should be able to handle easily given I keep the Z passes under 3/16" single cut. |
