Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] CNC newbie looking for a used router or kit

Thanks Chuck,

I went ahead an ordered a 4 axis, 125 oz comb pack from Hobycnc tonight. I
will build a MDF machine first to learn on. I will be cutting foam and
balsa which should be vey forgiving of my "newbieness".

I bet I'm in for a long learning curve.
