Re: Advice on low cost system

Doug,

Thanks for your remarks and that definately helps. You are correct
in your assessment that I'm more interested in the parts produced by
the machine than the machine itself. I have definately been
considering the more traditional mills or the 3-in-1's but my issues
have been that I know nothing about traditional milling techniques
and I'm famaliar and experienced with CAD in both 2d and 3d - so it
seemed like going directly to CNC might be the quickest means to an
end.

How difficult is it using standard milling to do arcs, bowls,
threads, chamfers, etc? Chamfers I assume is probably just a matter
of the right bit but the others seem incredibly difficult using a
manual machine is that not the case?
thx,

Lee Wenger
