Hi there,

I'm a lurker on this list... but this thread caught my eye and I went to
see the comments on the eevblog forums.... couldnt believe the negative
tone of most.... it seems everyone feels qualified to say what is the
proper way to design one CNC... yet I dont see their own designs.... in
other words, talk is cheap.

The comment that made my day was one saying a CnC should be heavy enough to
require a pallet to move, and if not, then surely the unit isnt sturdy
enough..... sheesh!

And it also surprised me to see no mention of the ones from Zen TW
which are made of aluminum instead of plastic....

Just my $0.02
