    Cnc router options/opinions?

    I have a Inventables X-Carve which I have upgraded to 750 x 1000 mm. If I was doing it all again I would go for a Workbee from Ooznest in Essex simply because of local availability and support.

    Cartridge for Sip 01924 dust collector

    Brilliant Nick so glad it was the right one, I find that I need to clean the filter normally every time I change the bag, keeps it going for a while, I turn it upside down and place a bag over the hole and give it a good shake up.

    Cartridge for Sip 01924 dust collector

    I have the same dust collector as you and fitted a metabo fine filter cartridge, I believe that Record do one that is almost the same as well. Mine fits with just a single strip of door sealer, if you do get it you will really notice the difference. Ian

    Thinking of buying a OX CNC kit

    Hi I looked at these and decided to go for the X Carve because of support and size. Since using it for over a month I use easel very little and mainly use F Engrave and Universal Gcode sender, the OX CNC is what I would go for if I wasn't a complete beginner. I also design mainly in Inkscape and...
