I probably won't get it for a couple of weeks, but once it is set up, I'll let you know.

Hmmm Might be worth looking into..
You get a laptop for $199.00 if you buy a cnc machine.

Hello,
Very knew to this forum... Wondering how did your CNC purchase went how was the quality of the machine?
I have been looking at a 2525 CNC Router from Vision Engraving & Routing Systems but if I can get a cheaper
one on e-bay why not. Just worried about how the quality is on a CNC machine from e-bay...

The only issue I have with that is I've never heard of the brand and that there are no prices listed anywhere on that site. That tells me one of two things. Either the prices are negotiable or if I have to ask for a price it's too expensive.

Looks like their prices are available now. And there offering free online demos.

Any updates/feedback on the zenbot? I'm thinking of buying one.
Thanks

I like it. I still have relatively low experience but am learning.

It seems like a sturdy nice running machine and the support is excellent.

I have the Bosch colt palm router for the spindle. I also puchased the 1/4 and 1/8 precision collets from a place called "Precision Bits" in the U.S.

I also had a friend wire up a fan control reostat to slow the router down a bit for doing text.
