Re: Beginner questions on price and difficulty

ya i was definitly thinking of taking a class on CNC or mechining at my
local junior college. right now im just trying to price a low end CNC
to see if i should even tease myself with a class.

i work at my local hobby shop for minimum wage... not exactly great
pay. its a fun job though, with perks, but i still cant afford a
multi-thousand dollar CNC mill. nor do i have the room for one. im 19
and live at home with my parents, so it would have to be fairly small,
something i could fit in my room, or perhaps in *a corner* of my
garage.

thanks,
--farrell f.
