CNC Router Tips Podcast Episode 33

Comparing Six CNC Router Tables.

In this episode we discuss and compare six different CNC Router Tables. We examine the question asked by our listener James Trimble about differences in CNC Router tables, what they were designed to do and how they stack up against each other.

Q: My question is regarding the differences between different levels of machines. I am currently building the mostly printed CNC which is an extremely low budget machine. But one that I think presents a lot of learning and hobby opportunities. My question is, what kind of limitations I will encounter in a machine like this. And what limitations and benefits will you find in different levels of machines ranging from other DIY builds like the Ox or Joescnc, all the way up to the full spectrum of commercial options such as the Stepcraft, Hytek Tools or even heavy industrial machines?.
