I went thru his website - Now that is a rigid machine. I purchased a kit - Lionclaw - with the expressed intent of cutting terrain models. I am a mining engineer and have been looking for a way to create 3D models of mine plans. The less rigid unit will be fine for my purposes. I only now need a way of transforming numerical grids into gcode. Someday I will pick through the image to Gcode code and tweak it to cut my models directly. An old house - two young boys and a wife with a busy schedule (for me) keeps me from diving into it full time. I do like the idea of the washing machine spindle. I am on a lowish budget and the porter cable router is my option of necessity for the time being.
