I'm probably going to be milling a load of auminium parts for my new antweight bot And it will be more fun to get a CNC and do it myself
For my company we have 5 3D printers of various flavours, but I'm totally new to CNC machines.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a small but accurate CNC which can deal with alu and possibly other metal (cooling makes things expensive i hear)
Budget under £2k would be ideal.
I am currently looking at this one.

Trying not to take Antweights too seriously. I think I'm failing.

Re: CNC Mill for Antweights? Recommendations?
Thanks for the tip! I had a look, but the product info seems to suggest it is not for metals.
Been hunting about a bit and doing some research, and i think i have some lined up will post up here the parts when i get milling
