Ok this post is pretty well the same as the lower post. The only difference is location. I am not sure how the rest of you Canadians feel, but sometimes I feel like I pay the same or more for shipping then the product that I am purchasing. Also, building my cnc I feeling somewhat alone, because alot of the builders here are from the United States.It would be nice to have a group of ppl in may area to work with or get a helping hand. So hopfully keeping it to an area will help keep the design cost down but not hurt the actually design of it. I want to design a very affordable cnc that is easily built for the common man/women with the basic tools. A nice work area, (my guess about 20" by 40" approx) so that a wide range of items can be made on it. I have notice that a lot of ppl want or would like a 4th axis. This could be also added to the design. I guess the first place to start is what ppl want. Starting with cost of the unit(Cnd cost). Is $250 to $500 a good range........its total demensions...and of course its functions, what do you want to do with it. I know we wouldn't be able to meet all goals, but at least we can narrow it down to what the majority want. My goal is to help out the community. I live in Ontario Canada and hopfully there are more of you Canadians out there so that we can keep what little cost down in the design aspect. Well let me know what you think and most of all let me know what you are looking for in a cnc. Please by all means, if anyone who is not Canadian, but still want to help out you are welcome as well. Input here is very important. I just wanted to see if I can get a group of ppl in the same area to keep design costs down and to have ppl possible meet up and work with their hands to build the first unit.
