    Hurrah new toy arrived

    New CNC arrived today

    now I'm going to bore you all about Gerbils and Backlash.

    Assuming I can assemble it without magic smoke escaping!

    Zeity get ready to lambast me!

    looks like this

    the manual is rubbish but after a few tries I have something that seems to work, I do feel like a Zeity protege as there seem to be screws left over, however every hole is full as NLYUK would say.

      Blimey. Just looking at the pictures you'd think it cost quite a bit more than that.

          Will it do mild steel or just wood and plastic?

            wood, plastic & aluminium supposedly. Etching glass is going to be tried as well.

            I might try steel if it goes well. Being plastic it is slightly flexible so I suspect accuracy will suffer.

              £259 delivered with PSU, USB interface and some rather poor instructions.
