That sounds suspiciously like the Milford Instruments 3 axis machine shown here : http://www.milinst.com/robotics/robotics.htm#axis I've always fancied one but have decided to build one from scratch sometime in the next 25 years to save a few pennies ;) Dom -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU] On Behalf Of Alan B. Pearce Sent: 25 August 2004 14:30 To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: [AD:] (will be) Small CNC mill, controller and software for ~$500 Just had a new CPC catalogue arrive on a colleagues desk here in the UK, and while browsing through it, in the PCB consumables section is a "Low Cost CNC Kit" for GBP256.02, catalogue #PC00380. It does require a Minicraft Drill model MB150 (CPC # TL-MB150) Don't know if this is also available in the USA, but it sure would come inside the US$500. Might be too light weight for what is envisaged, but for the price is probably about as good as you can get. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
