Long story, but I ended up getting the Nomad 883 Pro version around early November. ![]() I picked Nomad 883 because it was more powerful and bigger than Othermill, while smaller than Carvey, and I would get it in around late August. The guy at the Nomad booth also hinted that I can cut steel on the next revision of the Nomad 883 (sorry I forgot his name). I saw Nomad 883 at the SF Maker Faire 2015, and it really impressed me, perhaps because it was built with all metal structure. Another choice would’ve been but it is a Kickstarter that hasn’t started shipping yet. ![]() I saw at RoboGames 2015, and while it seemed nice, it was geared more towards PCB milling. I also really wanted to see the machine before I buy. ![]() I absolutely did not want a machine that’s designed to fit an ordinary router or Dremel. I decided that I need something powerful enough to cut aluminum, but also precise enough to handle PCBs, and is enclosed so I can keep it in a home environment. After getting comfortable with 3D printing, I decided I want to dabble with in-home CNC machines.
