I'm lazy, I'm only "sparking" when the EDM is running....
I'd like to explore adding the 4th and 5th axis to my 3 axis router. And also do a foam cutter -- hotwire to dual x and y.

Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
I included others because when I get 48hour days I would like to make a CNC grinder and ditto gear hobbing machine. But I'm afraid before I get there the Chinese will sell them for $100 a piece. They probably already are trying to figure out how they can make them with casting sand in vital components.
ONce I finish my mill I think I will Bodge in a lathe underneath it and have a two in one type design. After that a vacuum forming table I think, or perhapps a five axis with tool changer........

No greater love can a man have than this, that he give his life for a friend.
Built a 4th. Now I wanna 5th. Geee I guess I want it all.

I designing a router
Does this only have to do with building one or this also has to do with using and programming them?
that opens more doors.

Good question. I have a bias by thinking that most who visit this site are planning to build their own.Does this only have to do with building one or this also has to do with using and programming them?
that opens more doors.
I guess there are a lot of visitors here who are simply users and not necessarily builders.
When I posed the question I was thinking about builders only, but lets also include users in this question. Maybe we should have another poll asking " Do you visit CNC zone from a CNC users perspective or a CNC builders perspective"
I have noticed that while this poll has had less reads than other polls, it has had more votes than other polls. A higher participation rate. I guess that most voters seem to understand from what angle the question is posed.
