    Default Looking for a small office cnc for aluminum

    I currently have a small shop with a Sharp 2412 that has been a great and capable machine. Problem is that I'm not using it enough because I mostly work from home and mostly do prototype work.

    I am hoping to find a cnc that I can keep at home, possibly even in my home office. I have looked at the Haas Office Mill but it just seems incredibly overpriced for what I need, the Datron mills also look amazing but cost even more than the Haas. I have also considered a Tormach PCNC440 but at the time it doesn't have a tool changer and I am hesitant with it not being quite enough machine for me. I am almost exclusively using the mill to cut aluminum and it isn't running most of the time. Ideally something with an ATC, enclosure and flood coolant (flood coolant isn't necessary as I'm mostly using coated carbide endmills and I'm not running it all day). Any suggestions on something that might fit the bill? Thanks guys!

    I don't think it's out yet, but Tormach has been testing an ATC for the 440.
