Also check out mikebeck.org ... gantry kit is abut $500, electronics / motors are extra. Check with Mike for details. (no affiliation, just considering being a customer)
Mike sells a beefed up version of the HobbyCNC.com plans in kit form from what I can tell. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kirk Wallace Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 11:10 PM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: Re: [Emc-users] OT: Marketing On Wed, 2008-03-05 at 15:34 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi > Kirk > please let me know if you interesting to build small frame bridge type > machine. > thanks > aram > > > > On Sat, 2008-03-01 at 12:22 -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> Hi Kirk > >> > >> I can’t say about retrofitting machine but I know whole very good > >> – large mill sold for scrap metal because control got bad and > >> minor mechanical problem. > >> When ask how much for retrofit answer – better to buy new machine > >> $50-250K Here is the money.

Is this similar to what you had in mind: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200204012821 If so, my guess is that buying an existing kit would be much cheaper than hiring someone to make a custom system. The design and fabrication of prototypes can be very expensive, unless you do most of the work yourself and hire out a very small portion of what you absolutely can not do. I would like to help, but without allot more detail about what you want and expect, I am worried that there may be no solution that makes everyone happy. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
