I'm just babbling, but, 1) Lucky you for even being able to consider that machine. I'm envious. 2) For that machine, I wouldn't think the words "easy" and "basement" would generally be used in the same sentence.
Thanks Grepper,
You are absolutely correct, and to make matters worse, my basement is already "filled".
I do not have more than 10% saved, that being said, I would still need a bit more time to get the rest together.
To be fair though, I have been thinking of getting a cnc or upgrading my Sherline 2000 mill, for quite some time.
Just something always stopped me, and I just stayed with my manual machines.
In 2009, I came really close to getting a cnc
Mill, and researched all of the popular Cad/Cam packages.
I was comparing Tormach , Industrial Hobbies, and Mikini Mechtronics.
Really happy I did not get the Mikini.
Only the cad/cam software I could not afford or not justify the yearly fees for updates, seemed practical to use and get something done.
As a experiment, I bought Bobcad for 500.
And took some classes and could not stand it.
I mean, I enjoyed Calculus much more. I think the programmers were on acid.
Boring, too many steps to do something basic.
That is my story, and I'm sticking with it. Lol
Anyway, decided, as long as my better half agrees, that the cnc mill should go up the 4 stairs to the front porch and thru the 42" wide front door, directly into the "parlor", which is inhabitated by a Rhesus macaque and an amazon parrot.
I think they need a break from disney videos.
