Well, first batch of Kickstarter early bird kits should be shipping later this month. Swing on over to the Routakit forums for more info.

I was wondering the source for the 16mm ballscrew and the steel v-rail? I think those were the only two things I couldn't find, the rest is pretty straightforward or was already covered I have enough set aside to start purchasing parts to build a Routakit HD. I posted a couple pages back wondering ...

UPS and FedEx, for me, are big problems.

Awesome, so I guess that works out. I've had many problems with UPS in the past so I try to stick USPS when I ship items out.

Hey everyone, My good friend and co-creator Josh Alltop made a post on reddit to do a little bit of Q&A.

Thanks for your interest. :) The smallest spindle that I recommend for the HD would be a 1.5kw, though a 2.2kw or 3.0kw spindle is recommended to get the most out of the machine. Our HD is currently using a 3.0kw spindle with gre...

Hey everyone! We reached our goal and we're currently 115% funded. :) We still have 3 weeks left so hopefully we blow past our goal. I'd like to thank this community for fostering growth, new ideas, and innovation. This project wouldn't even exist without this forum and you guys have motivated me to...

Just my two cents but CNC Mogul and Gryphon must be owned by the same guy or at the very least both companies are working together. I say this because their machines are identical other than being different colors. CNC Mogul is not an open source machine, so it begs the question how the other compan...

We're off to a great start. 39% funded on our first day, we're even a "staff pick" from Kickstarter so I hope this means good things to come. Thanks for all the support everyone!
