3018 CNCs are cheap and affordable. They are usable for creating small dev boards, and highly satisfying. It is also an opportunity to learn gcode (which is useful for industrial controls and automation). Though I will warn one thing - machinists are dime a dozen, so it's not a great career path.


Uses of CNC

  • Prototype pcbs for
    • small transistor blocks
    • high frequency rf via calculators (simulation software such as qucs or ansoft)
    • chip antennas
  • Carving out of soft materials (wood, plastic, soapstone)
  • 3D printers
  • Bothering the neighbors
