Thanks, Randy. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid. Sometimes I wonder if others think they're as exciting as watching paint dry. See my comments early in this thread about building. It boils down to whether you want to build one or use one. A kit lets you do both. Building a CNC from scratch is a bigger project than a Tear, and more electronic-y. IMHO.
I enjoy it, for some reason or another, while watching I was thinking of the programing, speed of the cnc, ect. I'm not sure if I want to build from scratch or build a kit, as I do enjoy building things unique and to my own specs.
As for the round peg in a square hole, I guess it's a little too late to stop the bit a little short and chisel out the square part huh? Maybe you can add a small inlay to fill it in, but there is nothing wrong with rounding the inserting edges. We all make our own standards for our own builds, my standards may not be as high as others but I can live with em.
