Recommend CNC Machine:
Hey all,
New to the website. Hope everyone will ignore my ignorance on the subject of CNC machining and apologies in advance if it's the wrong sub-forum.
I'm looking forward to purchase my first CNC machine. There are some cheap Chinese CNCs on ebay, but I'm not sure if I would wanna risk buying from them. I initially thought about buying power saws for my work, but figured a CNC would be better and "safer" for the same price.
Type of work: Performing Square and angled cuts (up to 10mm thickness), deep long cuts (grooves), holes and engraving.
Budget: Max $3000
Materials: Plastics mostly. Occasionally I might use wood or aluminum. No hard metals.
Software: SolidWorks
Speed and accuracy are important, but speed is the first priority.
I don't have enough equipment to compliment, but if it matters I own a drill press and a plunge router.
Cheers.

Re: Recommend CNC Machine:
4x4 should be fine.
Re: Recommend CNC Machine:
$3000 isn't really enough to get a decent 4x4 machine. Even kits in that size will run $4000-$5000.
