I'm in Washington and every time I'm looking for machines they are always listed in Michigan, Chicago, Massachusetts, ny and the ones in cali or around WA are over priced even if you throw in shipping cost and since this is my first machine I want to be there for when the tech runs the machine through its paces... I thought I would be able to find something by know but no luck and my plan to have a machine by the end of summer this year might not happen... I don't know if the market is seasonal but the prices are fairly competitive for what I'm looking for so it not as simple as deciding what machine... anyway good luck and if you found something and you want to share your experience don't forget my post here... I would like to know how garages cnc machinest set up their garage, maybe that should be another post/subject..
