Noob here looking at first build
 
Hi Guys,

Just found this forum so I decided to join. I would like to build a router or a router/plasma set-up on the cheap, but I will not compromise quality. I am a good welder and have access to machine tools, through friends and school. My desire is to build a 4'x4' rig then see what kind of profit I can generate before going bigger. I have a lot of questions so bear with me.

Cheers,

RJ

Welcome to the group.
Keep reading - ask questions, it's okay - we don't bite!

If you can weld and have some machine access, you are all set.

Brush up on the software side.

Also note that the difference in cost between a 4x4 and a 4x8' machine is maybe $400.

Welcome aboard!
Best reading in the beginning is reading a bunch of the larger build threads. You can get a good sense of the work involved from them.
