Hi,
I've built and run a 4x4 3 axis machine for a couple of years now and its running pretty well. I'd like to have another machine to mill/carve large scale items in polystyrene up to car size. We could build a machine from scratch here but it might be just as cost effective to buy a machine from China. We could part build/part buy in terms of shipping that might be the best option. Cant see much point in shipping the rail beds and gantry. Anybody got any good reccommendations?
Cheers

Yeh good point about software. HyperlMill has a pretty good interface but I hear good things about NCL, Catia, PowerMill and MasterCAM X4. No idea of their price though.
