Of all the smaller diy cnc's his looks the best to me.
I've been looking into it seriously for the last 12 months and almost bought one of the cheap 3040 Chinese types but i've read a few horror stories...
Instead purchased a second hand Techsoft/Roland machine, hasn't been delivered yet but fingers crossed it'll work ok. Its designed for school use and comes with all the software and tools plus an idiots guide. Hopefully be a good introduction to cnc. I don't think it'll handle cutting aluminum but i'm mostly interested in Traffolyte and pcb's to start with.
The coil winder's fantastic looking, he's even programed some tidy software. I'm sure he could incorporate options for 'cross hatched'(?) type windings if asked.
