Title: CNC Machine
Post by: Dannyb on March 06, 2017, 09:28:19 am

I am interested in getting a Wood CNC machine.  It would really open up a new window of interest and opportunity for me.  I have seen an ad where you can send them money and they will send you instructions on how to build one, then there are places that just sell them.  Is there anyone out there that is using one?  Any input would be appreciated about them or how/where to get one and name brand.  Thanks!

Hi Danny, I have an x-carve CNC machine. It comes as a kit and has a pretty good following. The software that comes with the machine is pretty limited so be prepared to spend some dollars on high end software to design the projects. The kit took me a few hours to build but there was nothing too difficult.


Dave Gatton sells an excellent kit that lots of people say works great. His web site is at this link. http://www.garageworxcnc.com/
Dave does a weekly YouTube podcast where you can get loads of information about the topic.
