Hey all, just looking at CNC router options for my small company that builds custom musical instrument amps. Wondering if it is worth it. Here is what I would like to do with the machine:
(1) drill PCB holes repeatability of .008"
(2) possibly mill PCBs
(3) router logos
(4) cut 3/4" pine and baltic birch for cases (approx 3' x 3')
(5) router cut .080 5052 aluminum for the electronics cases
I have research, and see that the fireball would be great for (1), (2) and (3) and cost about $1k
I have also looked at the mech mate and and pretty sure it will handle (4) and possibly (5). For about $4k
I also looked at mike beck and buildyourowncnc, but unsure if I can get the accuracy required for the PCBs.
Any suggestions of other machines? Are my expectations out to lunch?
thanks!
