what are you gonna be using it for op

I just noticed it's just a router on a moving bar. couldn't you make your own and program it with arduino or raspberry meme. I'm sure there's programs somewhere on github that can do it for you.

Im only gonna be using it for small things, but I don't do arduino or programming. This is just one I've spotted, so other recommendations would be nice.

Get the Ox instead

A colleage has one, doesn't get as much use as we'd thought it would. Depends on how large an item you want to work with. There is no such thing as a plug and play cnc device for the hobbyist market. Shapeoko's are pretty expensive, you're paying for r&d and the brand rather than steppers, belts, bearings/bushings/guides and aluminum extrusion.

Don't know the exchange rate or care to look it up. As for learning "arduino programming" you don't really have to learn it, there's several DIY cnc mills tutorials that are very hand-holdy, and it's all pretty much the same firmware. Depending on what you want to do, a cheap Chinese kit might do well.
(this was $250 USD and works perfectly fine for the purpose I bought it.)

What is the model or brand? What can it do? $250 is so low I assume it can only do small plastic or wood, perhaps teeny aluminum jobs.

Also, pc board routing, guessing by what's on the table.

ah. that explains everything.

I've done aluminum parts ~15mm thick, you have to go way slow. And yes, I bought it specifically for pcb routing. We go back to the question: What do you want to do with yours?

>What do you want to do with yours?

Actual milling, at least on small aluminum. I realize that an actual mill for machining metal starts at a few thousand dollars, plus all the tools and coolant and whatnot, which is why I'll never own one. I just looked at your cool setup for $250 and started deluding myself for the hundredth time.

If it's never going to happen otherwise, I'd give this a shot and fuck around until it's properly tuned.

>>1233330
ah, where's the 4th axis?

>>1232835
would this be a good leadscrew and motor for a cnc? It looks really nice

Around the motor spindle, I suppose.
