Thanks guys. It is a total beast to drive!
CNV - I've heard a lot of good things about the Taig and think it would suit the task well, although I have never used one. They are nicely made, better than the Chinese X-series type machines but slightly less beefy. If you are wanting to do aluminium chassis components you would be set, and I believe there's a 10kRPM spindle option which would work well if you also wanted to do carbon fibre work. For CF I have a Proxxon IB-E (high class Dremel) bolted to the side of the head, this revs to 20k and does a great job on carbon sheet. Also very good for light milling with 2mm and smaller cutters in aluminium, and it is a cheap option. |
