    Probably a very simple question

    Does anyone make a Prototrak/EX Trak style machine but in a smaller form factor? Closer to a benchtop size? I really like the lack of programming needed for these, I am skilled in the CAD department, but have almost non-existance skills in CNC. Right now I am looking into my first machine for my home shop, and I am holding onto the plan for an IH machine, but, if I can find something like the prototrak type controls, I would prefer that.

    Thanks ahead of time.

    There is plenty.
    Don't expect controls of that technology to be cheap.
    Anilam, AccuRite, Heidenhain, Fagor (my fav)
    $12K - $15K

    That is the approx price of the bolt-on kneemill kits.
    Applications vary and you would have to decide what exactly you need from them (servos, drives, etc)
