Re: Brute and Hawk Mills

2005-11-15 by crankorgan

Chris,
      The Brute is 5 years old and the Hawk is two years old. Many
people have build them. I just figured I would mention it since some
people have been talking about building a CNC driller. People have
scratch built a Brute for under $200. If you buy a motor system then
it will be $300. 

                                            John
