man, some people are crazy talented

I worked out the overall cost at ~$3,800 (USD - 3 years ago). This included a couple of endmills, some basic CAM software, and a Harbor Freight dust collector. You NEED dust collection with this thing - it's amazing how much sawdust you can create in a short amount of time.

I don't have a full parts list - it's built using plans and a partial kit from joescnc.com. This is the Hybrid 4x4 Rack and Pinion model with a welded base instead of the bolt together unitstrut base. It's using a Hitachi M12VC router. Motion is handled by HobbyCNC stepper controller kit and NEMA 23 steppers. It is set up to rapid at 700 in/min. It may be able to go faster, but that's plenty scary.
Plans are $75 and includes access to his forums and the parts list.
