Another knock in the teeth comes from experts discussing parts as if
they were complete machines.
It can cost $5,000 for a Bridgeport CNC conversion kit. Makes the
cheap Bridgeport look really cheap.
also, the $150 number is easy to toss around, but actually getting a
running machine will cost WAY over that. I've seen people tally the
final costs at over $700 for one of those plans only machines.
Many of us can toss together a CNC machine from surplus in our parts
bins. but, that stuff still came at a price.
