Oh, yeah, I saw plenty of ones that were cheaper but the reviews suggested that it would be prudent to give them a wide berth! I was more thinking of the CNC for cutting any flat-ish timber components; although a 5-axis machine with sufficient precision (e.g., via a specialist milling service) could potentially be used to make moulds for plastic injection manufacture. How many component variations are there to make? _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
