Cool, a 4th axis, looks like it has a cnc index wheel. That should make just about anything you would need out of delrin. Just get ready to tear up alot of tooling if this is your first time with cnc. Z stop???? Whats that............BANG!!!!

You should get this one.   My dad actually has one like this for the business he owns. And i can run it. I dont know how much it costs but i am guessing a whole lot. If i am lucky, i can make parts with it once we figure out the programing thing. |
