Hello to all,
I'm a newbie at metal working and I need help buying or putting together a system that fits my needs.

  1. Only have $5k to work with.
  2. Cut shapes on stainless steel max 20 gauge thick.
  3. Cut shapes in plastics max 1" thick.
  4. Engrave on plastic and on stainless steel.


First I was thinking on buying X4 but I will like a larger working space to work on a larger material piece to cut more pieces in one run so I start looking at a k2 router table. Don't want to spend money on a plasma cutter because is not going to work on plastic.

If some can help me with the right pieces to assemble the system including a router bits to cut stainless I will appreciated.

Thanks, Robert.
