VMC 40 and VMC 4020 are two different machines...LOL The Fadal VMC machines are not toy cnc's like the other one mentioned they are tough and will hold accuracy. If your a hobbyist and dont need to make production runs or prototypes that need to maintain accuracy then the hobbyist machine is what you want not the serious Fadal. IF you have never experienced the difference between a boxed way fadal and a linear way 2500lb hobbyist cnc you should wait and dont make any snap decisions. Look around ask around and visit some shops before you spend any money where it shouldnt be spended. I am biased though I never liked any machine with less than a #40 taper and at least 10hp...believe me you will eat it up when your hogging.
