 The Clausing Kondia CNC mill is a machine that can cut machine nearly anything.  It is particularly useful for machining aluminum, brass, steel, and other metals.   You will need to know how to use CAD and a CAM program in order to create programs for this mill.
+Unfortunately, this machine does NOT have drip feed software installed so the program size limit is around 55kB. Drip feed would be a ~$800-$1200 software upgrade from Clausing.
