Forgive me if this question has been asked to death, I'm kind of a newbie again! Lol. I am looking at building another Clod (I know, wrong crowd lol) and I am not a fan of my options... I am a cantilever and non crawler guy and was wondering if one of those $200-$300 cnc routers could be used to cut out carbon fiber parts? I'm not looking to sell anything, just play around with my clod and other rcs.

Any one have any experience with these and carbon fiber? I see some can work "soft" aluminum too.

My $800 cheapie Chinese 3040t got me started but those little ones with a 540 motor aren’t going to be very accurate and with carbon it’s tough enough as it is.
