I was pretty sure it wasn't any kind of lathe - I presume that the rotary axis doesn't spin either fast or freely. I just wanted to get the lame word play out of my system .
The target of your link in the phrase "building one of these while we're down there" appears to be messed up. The target appears to contain some of the text of your post - possibly a failed paste? Nevertheless, from the other link, I think you are talking about a 'CNC Rotary', or something to that effect.
Regarding the longmill, there's a fellow on youtube who seems knowledgeable to me (since I barely know anything about CNC machines), and he posted a video of himself climbing up on to the gantry of the longmill, and riding it for a little while. Of course, there was no measurement of any flex, but it didn't obviously flex either, so it was a pretty good advertisement for the device . It doesn't hurt that the size and the price are right for my situation. I've seen the Shapeoko - if I recall it was higher in price... I periodically check in on X-Carve too, but they are more expensive now too. I'll check out the other one as well. Oh wait, I already have.
I saw an MPCNC someone built at a maker faire. It certainly seems like a viable option, in spite of the fact that my filament printer is trapped behind an exercise machine, and I haven't used it for a while . I actually have a bunch of parts myself... I just need to schedule some time to do things.
I need fewer hobbies... .
