Am i correct in thinking this?
I traded a lawn mower i had for a brand new router. ( free ), So i think my overall cost will be $250. |
Good job on what you've picked up so far!
I'm guessing you'll spend another $450+, but if you can score some more free goodies, you can come close.
HobbyCNC board $79, cable $20, then you'll need the transformer and case around $55
3/4" & 1" gas pipe Home Depot around $65
1/2" MDF $ ??? Not sure about costs
Nuts, bolts, washers, ubolts, bearings, aluminum angle $100 (rough guess)
1/2-10 ACME Rod $7 each and nuts $1.19 each, 3/4 drill rod $9.39 each $50 - $200 depending on what you get (if you purchase 1/2-8 2 start, cost go up)
This is not really part of the build cost but you'll need control software
Mach3 software $159 (you can get other software, this just seems to be the most popular)
I'm rooting for you, so get a build log going so you can keep us up dated!
Have fun!
