Desktop CNC for under $2K

Post by xtian »

I'm certainly attracted to the "gee, whiz" factor of 3D printers like the Maker Bot. But practical applications for guitar amp builders are practically nil. Unless you need to make little figurines to sit on top of your amps.

But! Desktop CNC! One-off circuit boards. Faceplates. Check this:
