Newbie here! Want to build a small CNC

[rearwheels]

Hi guys,

I'm a true newbie here from the sunny island call Singapore. I see a lot of you guys have some form of certification and experience in machining. So new to this, in fact, I've never seen a CNC machine in real life. hehehe...

Anyway, I am looking to build a small CNC machine that will be about 1 feet by 1 feet in footprint, as I don't have place to store it.

I've search through this forum and found this video:

YouTube - Easy to build Desktop CNC Mill

YouTube - Easy to build Desktop CNC Mill

I love it!

So I'm targeting to start off with something simple like a kit from
http://www.hobbycnc.com/
or
This ebay item here

Looking forward to spend more time reading up the information here!

Thanks in advance for the help I know I'm going to get here.

regards,
koo

Hi:
I built one of those made out of pipe fittings and was surprised at how well it worked.
I used some little motors I had, they were probably in the 50 0r 60 in/oz class. I took it to a craft show and got $150.00 out of it. Enough for food for a few weeks.

Rear Wheels - koo!

Welcome aboard!
If you are looking for parts in Singapore - I'm sure you've thought about Sim Lim Tower?
Top floor is/was a neat - well quite cluttered - shop with all sorts of gear to build your cnc. So if you haven't placed you order yet - it might be worth a stop down to the shop.

BTW I'll be passing through Singapore in a few days (enroute to Malaysia) - drop me a PM if you'd like to get together.
