    Default More than a Hobby, Not Quite a Business - needing a 4x8 CNC Router

    I'm sure you see more of these than you care to count, but here goes...

    I have outgrown my 1000mm X-Carve and need something larger, but my choices seem to be way past the wife acceptance factor.

    I need to cut 4x8 material in 2.5 D. I have space,110v and 220v in my shop, and currently about $4K - $5K to work with, but the choices are lacking. Is there any hope of getting a 4x8 CNC I can use in this range?

    Build your own. Use CNC Router Parts rack and pinion, and fab your own frame.
    Source and assemble your own electronics.

    It'll still end up close to $5K, if you are resourceful.

    Ok. I'm in Ohio. It might be a bit out of your price range but we are selling our 5x10 CNC Router Parts machine in the next couple weeks when our new one arrives. It is the Pro model with all the goodies. I have over $15k in it. I'd let it go for $8500

    #1 you make some kick-ass cabinets. I have a Stern EM "Pinball" from 1976. I have long thought about making VP machine, but I've spent my time on the video game side of the arcade build spectrum. You're games are sweet.

    Your offer is very generous, and I'd love to take you up on it. However, it is out of my price range for this iteration. Thank you for offering it up.
