    4'x8' CNC Machine for Less Than $500

    I'll be taking a closer look at this wood CNC machine. It might be a handy toy.

    Dave, you will probably find the Maslow CNC Design Overview video interesting. It is a bit down the page.

    Take a look HERE.

    My plan in three years is to retire and buy land out in a desert town and build a large steel building and make a large woodworking shop that might make me some money. I was to make or get a panel cutter for the wall but this could do the same job and more. Booked marked the page and will keep it in mind.

    Very interesting----step out of the box and you might see the world in an entirely different way. My hat is off to them and I wish them luck in this and all their future endeavors.

    Dang. My routers like to jiggle around quite a bit when cutting. Looks like those cables would not hold it steady enough. Pretty nifty if it works as advertised.
