Anyone using either of these two mini-CNC machines?
Well, I don't see it much useful for instrument work. 4 hours time on strat body is not good at all. Guy with good router and templates will make several such bodies within that time.
The site doesn't specify power of the spindle or precision of cut, basically they say nothing about the machine or it's construction.

I order a information packet from them and didn't like what i read. It use special bits. Meaning you have to buy them from them. A standard cnc router you can use bits from anywhere. The software that is provided lacks the ability to import files from CAD programs. Someone mentioned the time. To long in my opinion too. And it has a very limited size compared to most CNC machines. And the price is very high for these limits....Mike

Thanks for the responses. The feedback on Amazon ranges from "Fantastic" to "Nightmare".
