MINI CNC machine

DublinDilbert · 2008-12-30 22:45:59

I was wondering has anyone made a mini desktop CNC machine? It would be a cool project and quite usefull. Would be interested in using it for cutting PCBs, pick and placing electronic components and maybe carving wood/plastic... You can get the chassis from ebay and run something like linux cnc http://www.linuxcnc.org/
