Hey Newbie, Welcome aboard. This is a common machine, one of the variant themes of the Rong Fu 30. More common and probably a better choice is a variant of the RF-35 with an R8 spindle, slightly larger table, and bigger motor. Check out the Mill Drills at Grizzley, Harbor Freight, and Enco for comparisons. Then go look at HomeCNC for an example of what you can do to this thing with a wheelbarrow full of blood sweat and tears. Before you buy I would give a good look at the Sieg X-3. Its more money, but has a square collum, a real benefit if your gonna CNC. Good Luck.
