Re: Small CNC Machines

You can order a CNC-ready Taig through Peatol, it's expensive
compared to the manual machine but cheap compared to the CNC machines
from Quantum.
You would have to sort out the motors, drives and sofware yourself,
but you'll get good advice and help on this forum if you go that way.
I've converted a Taig lathe to CNC after seeking help here and hope
to do the same to my manual Taig mill.

What type of manual machine are you currently using ?
What sort of accuracy and production rates do you require ?
