Hello, My first post here.
I need some advise from you CNC experts.![]()
![]()
I am planning to Build or Buy Small CNC machine. I started making Jig and lure molds from Aluminum, and until recently I was casting my mold from Master Mold, which was very limited. Now, after bit of research I realized that CNC would stretch my horizon and made my molds more accurate and detailed.
Now the hard part. BUY or BUILD. I was looking to get mill from Grizzly http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0463 and get stepper motors and Board.
My father's friend who works on CNC full time offers help with putting it together.
But then I saw few Taig CNC on ebay for about 1400. Also I was looking at ARTCAM software from ARTCAM.Com and looks like I can cut mold cavities in aluminum and size them too.
I guess I need your advise as to which way should I get and maybe some suggestions as to which software should I get to fabricate this type of molds.
Thanks in advance for any honest advise
