I did find the actual supplier web site. http://newker-cnc.com/index.php?l=3
Having some trouble downloading the English manual but these are the units sold through Alibaba. I'm not in any way saying these are better than LinuxCNC on a PC or MachineKit on a Beaglebone. They do claim to be using ARMs. The point is for the money they are asking it's just another example of a complete package, ready to go, that probably does some level of machining well enough to make parts. And fundamentally it's all about making parts as cheaply as possible. Unless I win a lottery I can't see buying one just to play with. And I already have my $25 PCs I bought to run LinuxCNC or MACH3. But by the time all that stuff is assembled and mounted the costs really do exceed the price of the far east units. Just like anyone building a Knee Mill in North America wouldn't be able to compete with the same size units made in the far east. That's why the Grizzly, Tormach etc mills are all from the far east.
