Lindsay, I might tae you up on that.

There is a big advantage getting something CNC ready as I have nothing to help me convert a machine in my workshop but does anyone have experience with using CNC4YOU?

Hugh,

Apologies I should of added the following to my initial list:

• Amadeal E3 Direct Drive or VM32LV

Unfortunately I am in North Scotland and quite a distance to visit anywhere.

I have started bicycle frame building and need the ability to make up different small bike components such as drop outs, notch the end of tubes etc and am looking first at a mill (will eventually get to lathe as well). I am looking to get something that can manage a reasonable size item and so smaller mills are too small. I have seen a bridgeport or two on gumtree that would be amazing but the truth is getting it to my workshop would a nightmare so I have been looking at the following as a reasonable size / cost that would work for me.

• Warco WM18B
• CNC4You MM32L
• SIEG SX3.5ZP
• Axminster SX3 or 4

I would like the machine to have DRO and also powered with the potential to convert to CNC or start straight off with CNC as most of the things I will make will come from Fusion360 model. I have little experience with any of these machines or resellers and so would really appreciate any input or thoughts. Thanks in advance.

Mike
