[Vanhackspace] Sugest where to get CNC Router Stuff (ie. Fireball V90)

[James Douma]

Thanks Emmanuel,

That sounds like a much better  idea (getting mini Mill from Busy Bee).

The lumenlab stuff looks really cool as well. It looks like really good
quality components. I wouldn't mind getting one of the RoGR kits ... maybe
phase 2 :)

I think I'll swing by the Busy Bee store in New West this weekend to check
it out.

Thanks,

James
