Howdy from Kansas,
I work for the basketball powerhouse KU. We do radars to measure the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. I am an Electronics Technician trying to do machinist work also. I mostly put pockets in 6061 so we can put our circuit boards in the holes. We are getting some new money and they have allocated ~25K for a CNC knee mill to replace the RongFu 40 we bought two years ago. As I expect mission creep I would like to have a 4 axis machine. Since I am not an experienced machinist or trained in G code I need a easy to operate machine. Also I do hole drilling on 16.5 x 24" panels and would like to be able to do them with one setup.
A kitchen sink would be nice also!

Thanks in advance.
