Anyone know where the cheapest 3 axis trainer mill can be had? something small, real small... even a 4"x4" work area isn't bad. As long as it can take instruction from mach 3. Nothing fancy, and under $250. Simply using as a Gcode trainer, maybe even machine some wax. Most likely flimsy and made in china, but hell its just a trainer.

Even something like this below seems fairly well made for its mini size, and more than i need. Someones gotta sell a $99 dollar "toy" haha?

I've seen machines made from Legos that would be a good training tool. Not sure about the cost. One video I saw showed it cutting a face into a foam block using a 1/8" brill bit.

Do a Google search for "Lego CNC".

Good luck!
