I am very new to cnc and have been reading up as much as I could in the last 3-4 days in regards to build design and the parts that are needed.
I constantly create computer parts in cad (fan grills, case parts, adaptors, some watercooling parts, etc)
Almost all of it can be made out of 1-2mm aluminum, copper, or stainless steel.
Ultimately I'd like to build a cnc machine that can mill these parts out to my specs.
Since I'm new to the cnc angle, but not the cad angle, I'll throw out all the questions that make me scratch my head.
Can a small cnc with a dremel work fine for milling 1-2mm aluminum?
If not a dremel, what about a rotozip? (I have both, so I would prefer not to pickup additional tools)
Is it the torque of the step-motor that gives a proper cut or is it the stability-speed of the tool on the z-axis?
Can I get away with a very small diy cnc machine in the diy $150-300 range?
Would this be appropriate to cut aluminum?

Any info would be wonderful.
