That's for plans for the 4x4 Hybrid.

So far I am in about $3,500+ area.... however, that includes tools such as a brand new drill press, a router, a set of drill bits, a set of router bits, a tapping set and just a bunch of other things. On top of that that also includes a brand new $700 computer for designing and controlling the machine. So, as for machine only.... I am probably in $2,000 area but that's just because I went with stuff like high quality 5 start screws, dumpstercnc, G540 and so on and on. I wasn't shooting for a super economy diy cnc, but something that would not rip a giant hole in the pocket and was duable.
Seeing how this project has built up a nice range of tools, a new computer and most of all.... *drum roll* a cnc! it's not so bad.
Look at the 5 start screws. If your motors are up to it these may be better.http://mary.chalees.com/1.jpghttp://mary.chalees.com/2.jpghttp://mary.chalees.com/3.jpghttp://mary.chalees.com/4.jpghttp://mary.chalees.com/5.jpg
bkboggy,
I just bought a set of plans from Joe's CNC and plan to build his Evolution model. I'm estimating my build at more/less $7000 and that's WITHOUT computer or software. I don't know how to explain or grapple with the difference with your build. I'm building my frame with 8020 aluminum and cncrouterparts/AVID electronics, those are my 2 big ticket items. Is that really make that much difference?
