Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a late model (2005 or newer) Kent cnc 2 or 3 axis mill. I'm in Michigan so I will stick to the midwest area as far as location.

Thanks,

Derrick

You might want to try EMI and get a mother board kit.

I was looking at a phase a matic with a voltage stabilizer?
Any comments?
