    Default Small CNC at lowcostcncretrofits.com

    I stumbled across this small CNC router from the Queensland based lowcostcncretrofits.com

    http://lowcostcncretrofits.com/hobbyrouter.html

    They currently have one on ebay (which is how I found it)

    I have no idea on the quality of the machines but it may be a suitable option for a beginner who doesn't want to build their own.

    I have no links with the company.

    Prices on the site are in USD, the router on ebay is comming from the states. Looks like hes just a reseller, Personally I dont like the design, ive seen it somewhere before, but since its small it will work just fine, till you want a 2400x1200mm cutting area

    BTW look on ebay.com they have a few routers on there, best one ive ever seen is the K2 CNC's. Great Quality but I think he just sells Z axis's on ebay now I have his older version of the Z axis (Works and looks great)

    Default Pendant

    Did you see his pendant ...
    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Jog-Remote-CN...3A1|240%3A1318

    On first looks it seems very comprehensive ... not sure about the price?

    I wonder why our forum has never heard of this company before.

    Cheers,

    Alan

    Certainly knew about them.

    3 axis controller package starts at $1500 US........

    That's why they don't get talked about much.

    That looks like a better deal (depending on shipping).

    Buy it now price of $2100US for one or $500US for the other.

    Of course shipping has to be added to that. The one in Aus will obviously cost a bit less for that.

    To bring it up to equivalent deal add,

    Gecko G540.... $300US
    Power supply....$80
    Case................ $50
    Misc...................$100
    TOTAL...............$530

    Anyone want one? I'll put a package together for $1500 US

    Their prices seem xxxy when you add up an equivalent as you did. It's probably James Packer trying to make up for a few billion he is down due to the financial crisis!

    Must be via courier, it would mean the machine weighs around 40 KG.

    Whoops. I just re-read his email. It's $560 US total - which includes the machine.

    I was thinking the same when I first glanced at the email. that is a rip off

    ~$60 US for shipping is a lot more reasonable
