Hi
I'm thinking of getting (making) a CNC router for cutting metal (1-3mm?) and engraving.
To buy a new CNC would be to expencive since this is going to be a hobby, so I think I'll have to make my own CNC.
I have looked at the Zoltar plans and it looks great, but it's not really designed for metal work.
Do you know of any other plans that would fit my use?
Thanx

What kind of metal? Slicing through 1mm aluminum or brass is a LOT different than working with hardened steel.

I'm thinking of making some badges for cars (trunk badges)

That "metallix" material would be best for my badge making.
Anyone who know where I can get this material?
