The item

The Shapeoko 2 is a simple, low cost, open source CNC milling machine kits that can be built over a weekend. This is version 2 of the fastest selling CNC machine in the history of the world. There is also further information about the machine, kits, kit contents and other things on this Inventables blog post. The machine as a whole is accurate but needs a good motor/chuck for the flexibility of what cutters can be used.

See this thread on London Hackspace mailing list.

Also needed

A decent spindle motor and chucks, e.g. Dewalt DW660
Drilling/cutting/grinding bits
Dust extraction, £43 example

Possible suppliers

Mech kit etc. from a RepRap supplier on ebay
MakerSlide, currently have the kits. Nigel Worsley has offered to donate 2 metres of MakerSlide (the aluminum extrusion for the wheels to roll on).

Drilling/cutting/grinding bits - £50 + delivery
First4Spares Debris Collector & Vacuum Cleaner Blower For Ash Collection - £42-99 + delivery
