    Desktop sized pcb engraver. There aren't many of these around. Most folk seem to go in for the big joe/jgro sized mdf jobbies. I'm currently looking at the design Tom has on instructables.com for an easy desktop cnc machine. Mostly be for pcb and milling plasticard for models. It'll be my first foray into cnc so it seems suitably small and cheap enough to dip my toe in and experiment.

    Mill/Turn rocks!!

    I currently program, set-up, and operate multi axis dual spindle mill/turn machines for an aerospace/defense contractor in Houston.

    With experience in many types of machine tools, I must say mill/turn is without a doubt my favorite. The posibillities are endless with these things and you learn something new every job. I can do one setup and the machine does the work of three machines; two lathes and a mill. The initial setup can be a little brain twisting at times, but to see it in action on an aerospace part can be a thing of beauty for a techno-geek.

    Voted CNC mills. My business is in CNC Calibrations for the last 20 years and before that I was a Journeyman Tool & Gage builder. I have worked on and calibrated about every type of machine out there. Chris ACI

    Actually it all depends on your needs or the products you know. I just voted for 3 Axis CNC Routers, which takes up to 37.59%.
