Hi and thanks for looking.
After wanting a CNC for several years and reading up on them for around the same amount of time, I am moving ahead with a plan to build an 80/20 machine.
I titled this thread very geographically on purpose as I have been burned (a lot!) by shipping & brokerage fee's over the last 5 years when ordering parts from all over the world for my giant scale r/c aircraft addiction.
A significant part of this build will be sourced locally (where possible) to avoid these extortionate charges and to minimize cost however experience has taught me that when sourcing very specific equipment that local supply is short or non-existent.
This is why I am here... to tap into the wealth of knowledge in 'the zone'.
I have purchased the plans from 80/20cnc and I'm reading through the BOM to understand what I am up against.
Any of you looking with information about this particular machine or local knowledge of parts/material supply please let me know and I thank you in advance...
