Does anyone know of a machine ?
What I i’m after is some sort of wood carving machine, that I can design things on my computer and it will carve them out of wood. I was thinking about something small enough for a garage or workshop less than £10,000. Any help or links would be much appreciated.
they are called CNC machines/CNC routers. I don’t really know how expensive they are, but 10 000 pounds is quite some money, you should find something. Usually the price depends how many axes it can rotate around.
I think you first need to figure out what kind of objects you want to create and then you can google a place in the UK which sells some. I am sure they will give you advice if you phone them, you still can decide where to buy.
Apart from that, there are instruction available of how to build your own. Those use either a normal drill or dremel.
