Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Shopbot

Scott,

It would be hard to beat Mach2 for a controller.

You may want to look at my web page for some different ideas on building
your own CNC router.

If you have ideas on an inexpensive base like the small ShopBot, please let
me know. I have talked with several people that would like to design an
inexpensive small frame.
