LOL, there is no die fee, or maybe the economies of scale make it cheaper so instead of just reducing the price they keep the price the same and tell you its' free, when one spends $25,000 or more it is easy to throw in "free stuff"

anyways I can tell you are a perfectionist with no real solutions for a lame hobby person like me, so you make your swiss watches, and I'll make my birdhouses OK?

The are hundreds of hobby guys that have built simple machines to start with and then built better machines once that see the short comings of the first build, just trying to move you past the first stage so you don't have to do it all over again

If you did spend $25,000 and made $60,000 from that $25,000 investment I think that would be a successful outcome, If a design requires you to do this then some of us do this to move forward, there is a Zone members that did do there own Extrusions for there CNC Router machine builds

so I want to buy a hobby machine and you are telling me I could get my own custom extrustions made if I only spent $25,000? LOL talk about not understanding my needs. Some people just go way overboard. The only people that are going to pay to get custom dies made and stock pile 5 tons of aluminum are cnc manufacturer's not hobbiests, I thought that would be obvious !

only machine I could find that uses rack and pinion and is under $2000

not being sold till spring of 2020 anything that is currently available less then $2000 and around 24x24" at least , 30x30" would be better?

First off you said you could make it for X amount of dollars, then you complained that you could not find extrusions that you could epoxy steel tube into, I gave you some choices did not say you had to have your own extrusions made but what is possible

So why do you keep looking at the same kind of junk !! build your own most people can do better than what you can buy the cheap junk for figure out a design type you want and go for it

Just for you here is someone that is having a problem with his machine, just the type you have been talking about https://www.cnczone.com/forums/uccnc...br /> cnc.html may be you could solve his problem for him
