Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] UK Hardware Suppliers

Hi Steve,
I'm looking to build a 3 axis unit with a router for the cutting tool.
I will most likley be using the unit to make parts for various electronic/PC projects (e.g. diy projector, time shift/media player box etc),
and my DIY telescope project. I would like to mill components from alluminium, providing I can get the right type of cutters
for my 1/2" router.

As someone new to this topic, am I asking too much of a home made device like this?

Many thanks to all of the replys.

Regards

Steve

What's a "CNC machine"??

There is no shortage of suppliers in the UK, but what exactly do you
want to make and what parts do you require?
