Homebrew PCBs

Hello,

The 500 buck CNC drill is becoming a reality...

The machine has a footprint of roughly 12-3/4 x 12-3/4, plus motors 
sticking out. It has a travel area of 8x10 inches, with 2 inches of 
travel in Z. The XY rails are 3/4" round ground and polished steel, 
and the framework is going to be steel or aluminum. It's Gantry 
style, so the board/work does not move around. This will let you work 
on larger items, 8x10 at a time. (I have some secondary markets in 
mind for this machine, so you guys are getting more than just a pcb 
mill/drill.) Things like vinyl sign cutting will be possible.  

It's a nice machine. Feedback as to size, price, or anything else 
requested and appreciated.

P.S. To be honest, the price of this really "wants" to be closer to 
800 bucks. But I'm trying to keep it as originally stated. It may be 
that this machine will get more expensive, and another, less capable, 
smaller machine will become the 500 buck machine. (Actually that is 
more than likely.) So when I offer it, don't wait if you're 
interested!
