    My plans

    My plans are to make a cheap hardware store cnc mill and use it to make a lathe, so I can make custom paintball gun parts. Can anyone get started, or point me in the right direction?

    Not sure what they would go for stateside but ive seen them go for 400-500 pounds over here in the uk so $900? But i would think you would be looking at more like $1500 for something dencent. How much is a cheap cnc mill over there, the taig and microkinetics are about $2000 i think plus all the hassle of converting it if it can be done?

    Have a look at the pc and the compact 5
