More comfortable in the fabrication section so this post goes here.
After trying and looking at g70xx mills for a while and torn between that and bpc for a mill I found a bpc clone manual/cnc at a auction. New-ish (2016), name not allowed, (has been mention here tho), I low balled. After not meeting reserve auction house emailed, back and forth, but for 500 more they are covering rigging.
Got invoice, they are throwing in the lathe of another lot for free (1440 NC, damaged control box). Called, and the auctioneer combined lots on sight, so they are honoring the buy mill get lathe free and all rigging charges.
so, for about what ebay wants for a bpc, I am getting a mill and lathe - yall are going to get some stupid questions from me for free!
Good news is I already know a few things, like adding r8 to mt3 to er30 makes mill spin better, amazon mills are just as good as mari, and .stl files are the best model format for cnc work.
I have an odd ball abb/baldor controller I stashed away, but leaning another one I saw at fabtech a few years ago - I liked the developers attitude (and super cheap). either way, the lathe will be containered for a little bit.
