Hi,


I'm looking for a desktop cnc for metal.
working range approx. 500 x 250 x 100mm x y z
I want to spend about 3/4k on it.
Preferably from a European supplier, due to import duties etc.


does anyone have any good tips?

When you say "metal",are you thinking primarily steel, or primarily aluminum, or ... ?

[jan500]

primarily steel.

That's a fairly large mill to fit on a desktop; it's more what would be called a "benchtop" mill. It will cost as much as you want to spend to get a decent quality basic machine that size - before doing the CNC conversion. Here's an example of what I'm talking about, although I'm not sure if they ship to Europe or not: https://www.precisionmatthews.com/sh...recision-mill/

Hi Jan - I think you may need to add another zero to your budget. Peter
