Hi all

I would appreciate some advice on a suitable Benchtop CNC mill that could produce the component pictured. Approximate dimensions are on pic and it is made from aircraft grade aluminium.
Have been looking at a CNC Taig Mill on eBay, but would like to confirm that it is suitable for this type of work.
My Budget is no more than $1200 without CNC $1800 with CNC.

Cheers
Kosa

The taig should do that, but the taig does not include software or computer.
