Hurrah new toy arrived

[vetran]

New CNC arrived today

now I'm going to bore you all about Gerbils and Backlash.

Assuming I can assemble it without magic smoke escaping!

Zeity get ready to lambast me!

[vetran]

yay!

assembled

looks like this

Pcb 2020B engraveing máquina Mini / Mini DIY 2020B CNC router sin caja de control / 2020B CNC rack de armazón en Maquinaria de Grabado de Metales de Industria y Negocio en AliExpress.com | Alibaba Group

the manual is rubbish but after a few tries I have something that seems to work, I do feel like a Zeity protege as there seem to be screws left over, however every hole is full as NLYUK would say.

Blimey. Just looking at the pictures you'd think it cost quite a bit more than that.

Will it do mild steel or just wood and plastic?

wood, plastic & aluminium supposedly. Etching glass is going to be tried as well.

I might try steel if it goes well. Being plastic it is slightly flexible so I suspect accuracy will suffer.

£259 delivered with PSU, USB interface and some rather poor instructions.

I have a piece of wood with an M drawn on it! SOOOOOOOOOOOO Cool.
