What CNC Mill would be best?

[krdevo]

I am looking for a cnc to mill golf putter heads. Mainly carbon steel or 303 stainless steel. I am thinking a benchtop cnc would work, but kind of new to this so I am looking for advice. I don't want to make a huge investment but a good reliable and precise mill is what i need. Please Help!

For milling carbon steel or 303 stainless steel a benchtop mill would take a long time to 3D mill a golf putter head. Such machining requires a very rigid machine and fixturing. I'm not saying it can't be done but I think the time it would take on a benchtop mill might not be cost effective. Of course if it is for prototype only and time and a good finish is not an issue then it might be okay.
