This post is probably a little premature but I'm pretty excited. I just acquired a CNC milling machine. I've been wanting to upgrade to a CNC mill for some time as it opens up lots of possibilities for things to make.

I had been investigating bringing in a machine from China but for the size of machine I wanted I didn't have the budget. A lot of the more affordable machines don't have a very big table or a lot of working area. Most of the cheaper used machines are huge or need a lot of work as they are flogged out. I found this very tidy 2nd hand machine locally which is about the same size as my current manual mill. I can also run it as a manual machine so I'll be able to sell my old mill and have one machine that does the lot.

Picking it up in a couple of weeks.
