Hello,

The 500 buck CNC drill is becoming a reality...

The machine has a footprint of roughly 12-3/4 x 12-3/4, plus motors
sticking out. It has a travel area of 8x10 inches, with 2 inches of
travel in Z. The XY rails are 3/4" round ground and polished steel,
and the framework is going to be steel or aluminum. It's Gantry
style, so the board/work does not move around. This will let you work
on larger items, 8x10 at a time. (I have some secondary markets in
mind for this machine, so you guys are getting more than just a pcb
mill/drill.) Things like vinyl sign cutting will be possible.

It's a nice machine. Feedback as to size, price, or anything else
requested and appreciated.

P.S. To be honest, the price of this really "wants" to be closer to
800 bucks. But I'm trying to keep it as originally stated. It may be
that this machine will get more expensive, and another, less capable,
smaller machine will become the 500 buck machine. (Actually that is
more than likely.) So when I offer it, don't wait if you're
interested!
