Hobby CNC

Hobbyists get into CNC for many different reasons. It really has a lot to offer as a hobby. There are many challenges to it and that is what draws in many people. This is not something you do just to pass the time. There is a result in mind.

Some people make it to Hobby CNC through a side door. They come from areas like Combat Robot and RC Modeling. There are many small, precise parts in these hobbies, which CNC is perfect for. There are also many enthusiasts that like to customize things so they need a way to make unique parts that they can't get anywhere else.

 CNC Hobby Growth Story

        CNC as a hobby has really seen a huge growth spurt over the last 8 years.  I think I stepped into it about two years after it started cooking in the late 90s.  When I jumped in there were a few CNC Groups going already and about three different CNC Plasma Tables available at the hobby level.  I don't know where the other machine types were at the time because I came in through the plasma path.  I would guess they were further behind as CNC Plasma Cutters was one of the first areas of CNC to take off in the Hobby arena.

        Most of the growth I would attribute to the Internet.  Groups formed, ideas were shared.  Feedback was given.  People started making "chips" and didn't look back.  The Internet brought a very expensive technology into garages across the country.  When I built my $4000 CNC Plasma Table a hobbyist class machine was around $10,000 and a commercial machine was $100,000 to as high as you wanted to go.
