    Opinions please

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm in the market for a relatively small cnc router (2' * 3') and have narrowed it down to a couple of units, the Shopbot Buddy http://www.shopbotbuddy.com/index.html and the Romaxx WD1 http://www.romaxxcnc.com/WD-1.htm I'm going to use the machine for guitar making mostly. Being pretty green at all this any advice would be appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    Rich

    This maybe smaller than what you need.

    Of the two you are looking at I would say go with the shopbot.

    Bluesocar,

    Have you gotten a machine yet? I am in the same boat and also make guitars.
    I have narrowed my search to the Shopbot Buddy and K2 Luthier package. But then I think If I am going to spend the extra on the K2 should I look at the Shopsabre's etc.... Please let me know if you got a machine and are happy or if you have any complaints.
    I am sure these are all good machines.
    Thanks,
    Mike
