I am new to the CNC world, so much out there. I am looking for a "complete kit" with everything needed to start cutting, with the exception of computer, software, router, and table (which I understand are personal preference or not efficient to ship). I don't mind assembling the machine, but I have no idea where to start about the electrical/motorized portion of the CNC machine.
About me and my needs...I have an architecture background and would like to start my own design firm. So having the ability to cut a 4x8 sheet would be preferable but not %100 necessary (furniture, art, custom wood design, etc). What other "complete kits" are there out there???? Or where can I get a kit for the structure and a kit for the electrical/motors (and combine the two)?
so far I have found...
