Hi,
I am looking at getting a desktop CNC machine, initially for milling water cooling blocks.
Currently my eyes are set on a X6-1500GT 3-Axis machine which retails for around US$1,900.
Are there any other options around that price range (or lower) that I should take a look at ?. I would prefer a ready built or kit with all the parts.
Any suggestions on a good primer on CNC milling ?. I will probably be using Mach3 with the mill and have yet to decide on the CAD software.
I will be milling copper, plastic and aluminium to start with. Any advice on endmills (shapes / sizes / material) to start off with ?.
Thanks
