Last year, I purchased a Techno-Isel DaVinci router from one of the
local high schools. Not sure why they decided to sell it. Either the
instructor retired, the curriculum changed, or student interest waned.
Regardless, it caught my eye. These machines are well-made.
I intend to use this machine to learn as many aspects of cnc machining
as possible. That includes not only the machine itself, but other things
such as design, numerical control software, material science, prototyping,
etc.
Although it's designed to cut wood, there should be no problem
modifying the z-axis assembly to accomodate filament extrusion, laser
cutting, or other x-y-z applications .
Finally, to teach is to learn. To that end I'll try to share as much
as I can via images and video.
