ripper – the different CNC
MAXMALI.COM: ripper is the most versatile hobby CNC ever developed. The 3-Axis CNC was not designed for a specific application – ripper fusions the needs required for fast shape-cutting in wood/PVC and the strength and stiffness required for milling in aluminum and copper. It brings the precision down to fractions of the human hair – and can be build using simple tools! And all that at a cost which puts commercial available CNCs in this price-segment back to the kindergarten.

I don't know all that much about CNC routers, but from what I can tell this one looks very good. The video was well made and did a good job of showing off the positive qualities of the Ripper. I like the idea of a CNC router that isn't build to do just one type of job, but rather it is designed to do many different types of jobs. I'm the sort of person who likes tools that are able to do many different types of jobs, like the table saw. I looked around a little and wasn't able to find very much detailed info on the machine, but I would like to know a little more about the cost, and materials. I'm not in the market for a large CNC router right now, but I'll keep this in the back of my mind for the future.
This is a pretty great product for the hobby market. What I didn't realize at first is that they don't send you a ready to assemble CNC router but it's just instructions on how to build on yourself. That it was developed by a 19 year old makes it even more impressive. The demos in the video show how versatile this machine is. The accuracy is amazing for something that is essentially homemade. I'd be interested in knowing how much it costs to actually build and if the 100 hour assembly time is accurate. But I guess the assembly is part of the fun for DIYers who would want a tool like this.
