Seriously though what kind do you have? I have been thinking of making one once I have some time.

It's a new Canadian built 24x36" cnc router from General / Gorilla CNC. General machinery is known for it's famous green color . It's at work, but we're a retail tool store and I have to do demos, and seem to have gcode ready We're soon getting a newer version of the machine with some upgrades. Learning gcode, vector design, and tool paths has been fun.

But, if you're a serious tinkerer having a cnc machine would be golden. I'm trying to work a deal where I can take the machine home from time to time (the store owns it). There is some pretty amazing DIY plans on cnczone.com, and having one machine makes it very easy to build another machine.

Old One:


New One:


Nice new piece, got to try out a new router bit too. 1/8" onsrud o-flute upcut spiral high feed rates

It seems the old piece was cracked from the pipe pressing down on the top of the flange. After looking at the old piece, its actually bowed downwards like a bowl where the crack is.

Expect it in the mail soon
