    Legacy alternative

    Hi
    Please let me know if this is the wrong forum for this thread. I was wondering if anyone knows of a comparative machine o the Legacy MiniArty. I need something around the same money that does A axis turning.
    Thanks

    We have a 24"x12"x6"(clearance)/8" (travel) CNC router with a great 4th Axis option (pictured). Our systems are all ball screw with a preloaded rotary ball nut drive system.

    Check it out....along with the ala carte options you might find useful....including true 5th axis options should you need that in the future.

    It's rumoured that everytime someone buys a TB6560 based board, an engineer cries!
