CNC research
In Feb 2009 I did some research on a CNC, both homebuilt and kits. The feeling I get about homebuilts is that I don't have the mechanical skills or tools to get the slides, bearings and lead screws working smoothly. This leaves either a ready built without motors and electronics or a kit. I like the Fireball V90 by Probotix for $599 base.
