We used this 24x36 machine for a side business, but with me back in school that is pretty much done.

The machine works well from what I can tell. It has the plastic sides, which are beat to hell....

If it is, don't tell my wife that I have one!

The 1/4" down spiral with a final pass seemed to really help.

Now onto my next issue... learning to finish!

Thanks, guys. It looks like I have a little experimentation to do and maybe some shopping while I'm at it!

Scott,

Scott, that thing looks pretty nice but a bit pricey... still kind of tempting! i like the idea of doing it cheaper.

Hey everybody

As I mentioned on another thread, I just pulled my first CNC machine out of the crate on Monday. My wife's side sign & gift business has been pretty successful so we spent the...

Thanks, Scott. I'll give that a try.

The problem I'm having looks almost exactly like this one, who's got a few recommendations for me to try out too:...

After playing for a few days:
I noticed the same thing. My spoil board was mounted about +1/4" in the X axis.
Yes, I am constantly moving the gantry out of my way to change bits.
I always forget...

I just got mine out of the crate yesterday :-)

It's my first CNC so I don't have anything to compare it to. It seems good so far. Is there anything you wanted to know?
