Noticing now that Zen tool and Zenbot are probably different companies! lol so that answers that question so i'm saying i will Get the Zen Toolworks and then grow from there Keeping my little Zen intact! probably upgrading to the 12 x 12 once i wanna do stuff a bit bigger cuz anything bigger than that i can probably rewrite a bit of the G-Code to start the program on my Thermwood like i have done for Lots of Vector works stuff! Now only question is how hard is it to assemble and properly home X, Y, Z axis on the Zen toolworks machine!

General Mach Discussion / Newbie at buying stage..

Hello everone! I'm new to here and These type of machine works. I am looking at a cheap start with a small table to get me on the path. The Machine i was looking at is a small one from Zen tool works Then i found the Zenbot? they look to be the same basically? I Wanna go with the Zen Tool Works machine first and then go to the zenbot bigger machines or make my own do the Driver and power supply transfer over if i were to get the Zenbot as an upgrade later?? or to use them for my own made cnc?

I am From B.C Canada, currently work with Larger CNC's from Thermwood 3 axis and Bussellato 3 axis pad machine. but they all carry there own "Software" for programming so this is something new for Mach for me so i will definitely be asking for help there! Tho i have worked with Vector works stuff and there program which i like also.
