Hi. I am looking for a budget cnc mill for hobby parts. It needs to be able to mill aluminum parts, be about 1m long by about 800mm wide. I would like to but from Australia and as cheap as possible. It doesn't need to be fast or fancy just needs to be able to cut high grade aluminum and be reasonably accurate.
Thanks for any help.

the size your after doesn't come all that cheap i don't think?? i own one of these https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Pr...stockCode=M123 which is getting close to your size requests...but I'm still in the process of CNC'ing so i cant comment on its performance, but they fairly common on these boards

They have quite a range thou so there are bigger ones they sell, but then i guess your idea of budget is different to mine if you go for one of them :P

Well that's pretty cheap. I think it's a little short and skinny though I probably need at least 800 long and at least 600 wide. Will go through that site though.
Thanks.

That one isn't cnc is it?

Sorry for triple post but forgot that it doesnt actually need to be a mill. Router should do just fine as long as its a strong one.
Thanks.

Correct, not CNC but you can convert them yourself with plenty of information here....

I do believe they sell proper turn key solutions thou but i wouldn't have a clue on pricing sorry

But how much is it to convert it if you know?
Thanks.

a cnc mill in the size you're looking for would be 5-6 figures.

Wow I thought I was looking for a small one lol. What about 800x600mm? I'd like to keep it in 4 digits. Also I know people build them, I don't think I have enough knowledge to design one but would there be anyone in Australia interested in building me one?
Thanks.
