Greetings Norbert,I saw in a post here a few days ago, information about the CNC machine you are using. I have some questions about it and was hoping you could help out.I followed the link to the website in your post, but my Dutch is not good (in other words, I can't read it). Does this gentleman sell these machines, and if so, can he ship overseas (to the US)? Does the kit include drive motors and the controller, or is it just the chassis? What kind of costs are involved for the kit?I ask all this as I have been trying to find a cost effective CNC unit for some time now and have yet to find any under $3,000 USD (not really in my price range). I would build one myself, but really don't have the time or the shop to do so.I really like the idea of being able to fabricate PCB and face plate engravings as well. I am a CAD draftsman, so creating files for output to the machine is not a problem, I just need to get a machine to do the job.Thanks for any info you can offer. :)

Hey Norbert,Thank you for the response. :)If everything is included, as you said, the price really isn't that bad (even after $US conversion).I would use it mainly for engravings and small precision routing jobs. Even with PCB's, 0.4mm accuracy for prototyping isn't all that bad. It would sure beat running tiny wires all over the back of perfboard, and it would be nice to be able to produce boards at home (and in good time). The table size sounds pretty good as well.
