Re: Can anyone recomend a 4-5 axis desktop CNC solution?

Thanks,
That definately gives hope to my cause,
So you'd say this is possible with some of the recent Taig
mini-mills equipment? Does your solution open the
possibilities for a mill? I saw your link, it has the router table set
up with it.. And the cam software, is that something you've been
working on or something commercially availabe? I do like that
it's 3DmaxCompatable, since I do have quite a few years in the
3D modeling and rendering world under my belt. You'd never
guess how many DXF files I've had to fix for production
purposes.
Thanks again,
