I'm new here I am looking to buy a cnc mill new or used. I used to program 3-axis routers at a former job and now want to start in for myself. My plans are to buy something that will fit in my garage and start small and see where it takes me. Anyway my research has brought me to this mill from Novakon http://www.novakon.net/nm200.html I am wondering if anyone has experience with this mill or anything from this company.

Also when looking at mills, what specifically do I need to link my PC to the mill controller? I have Mastercam X2, ARTCAM PRO 2008, and Visual Mill 5.0.

Thanks in advance and hope to talk to you all soon.

Tim,

The Novakon takes step direction commands, a dedicated P.C. is required.

Either Mach3 or EMC2 will control the mill.

Mach3 is provided with the mill.

I have been also looking at the Mikini 1610L. It looks pretty interesting. I wish they took Credit Card because I would probably buy one by weeks end.

Thanks for the info..
