I am thinking about making one, has anyone built one on here with success? Looks like a pretty neat hobby
this.. unless you need things that are to the mm or complex pieces you don't need one.. you can do bus bars distros etcYou dont need a CNC to make distro blocks. CNC's are good for high production, and/or very complex parts. Distro blocks are simple enough that a hand operated mill is more than enough.
Nooo! MONEY trumps everything.Knowledge and knowing wtf you are doing trumps equipment every single time.
you dont need a cnc to make a distro block....No you can build one it just takes some time, patience, and computer intelligence.

And I want to do a lot of metal work. I figure if I can make one, I will reward myself and friends by making metal parks (Distro blocks, etc etc) for cost.
Not to mention I love tools, and watching CNC machines cut is a wonder imo
