Hello all, I am new to the Router Forums. I hope that this will be the right area for this post. I have been woodworking for 35 years but no experience with CNC router. I am looking to purchase a CNC router because I would like to learn how to use it and perhaps make a bit of money on the side.
I am a retired engineer with a fair amount of experience with AutoCAD and electrical schematic software.
I am looking for some suggestions on good CNC machines and software to purchase. I would like to be able to work with wood and plastic materials. Probably not much metal, but perhaps some aluminum.
I don’t really know exactly what my budget is, but I guess I would prefer to keep the investment no more than a few thousand dollars.
I am not adverse to building a CNC router from a kit, I would just want something with quality parts.
Thanks for any input you can provide.
