RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: What price all this homebrew CNC??

this is a very good point, but do not underestimate the value of the
knowledge that 'doing it yourself' gives you. how many expensive seminars
would you need to go to aquire that? how much do you have to pay to get it
fixed, when a person who built their's has an intuitive understanding of its
workings, and can repair it themselves? how about overestimated a
pre-built's ability, very costly! another argument about proprietary
hardware is what do you do when the company goes belly up? there are alot
of hidden costs here, not just an hourly wage... in my opinion.... ---Dave

This is probably very true, but remember this list is aimed at the "DO IT
YOUR SELF PERSON" , not the professional shop.
