I don't even know if I'm posting in the right place, folks, so apologies for that to begin. Been looking on here since last summer to find out if I even want to build my own CNC mill (or router, whatever). I used to use them at work before I was forced into retirement. Might as well construct my own, right? Well, everyone's using terms which are foreign to me, and some people are really, REALLY into this stuff!

What I want to do is make some parts out of wood, plastic, and maybe thin aluminum (1/4" max) for R/C models and high powered model rockets. Can't find an all-inclusive list (table, motors, controllers, etc.) to pick apart and make this affordable for me. Looking at maybe a 1' by 2' workpiece size, at the most. If anyone can point me to the right forum, or refer me to some nice plans, builds, and such, that would be most appreciated. I was a toolmaker for 32 years, but never had to go and dig into the electronic guts of some of our machines. Feeling very intimidated.

I was at their physical location a couple of days ago. They may have something to fit your needs.
Most of this stuff can be scaled to fit your needs.
Contact Cory through their website.

He's looking for something a bit larger; the mf70 can handle parts 1"x 2" (that's inches, which each are 25.4mm). But he wants a machine with an envelope of 1'x 2' (that's feet, which are each 304.8mm long). This arcane Imperial measuring system is a bit confusing for people in the rest of the world...
