<div dir="ltr">I don't like my original Shapeoko for a few reasons. 1) lot's of backlash as it is belt driven, 2) it ran a dremel and not a real spindle, 3) the GRBL Controller was garbage. 4) wouldn't even think of cutting any metal on it... Anyone want to buy it? ;)<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Darcy could clarify but the CNC at MSN was $1,000 for just the frame. He also purchased a brush less spindle with Collet and already had the steppers and the controllers.<div><br></div><div>I think that they are asking too much for this mill in question and for the reasons mentioned re-kistarter campaigns I wouldn't buy one. I'd look at the chineese machines like 3020, 6040 or larger 6090. These are relatively proven machines and are great for cutting woods and mild steel/aluminum etc. In fact I would love to move into a 6090.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Dave</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 2:22 PM, Richard Sloan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:themindfactory@gmail.com" target="_blank">themindfactory@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">Should be there Sunday if you want to<a href="http://drop.in" target="_blank"> </a>drop in 1pm</p><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">

<div> I'd definitely recommend choosing a cnc from a proven
