small (worktop) cnc machine wanted for pvc & 1mm aluminium

Hello, I'm looking for a small cnc machine that can handle light (hobbyist) work such as 1mm aluminium or pvc. So an engraving machine really, but I want to cut profiled holes in box section material. I've looked at new bottom end stuff on eBay & Amazon but it's too light weight to do aluminium or it doesn't have the clearance to get box section under.
So I'm hoping someone might have some second hand equipment to sell that's a bit bigger and has more power.
I'm near Bristol. Here's hoping. Thanks, Matthew.

Matts. I have a Denford Starmill converted to linuxcnc (or mach3 if you prefer but linuxcnc Is far better) with a nice slim line PC and 15” tft screen
It is a in its original Denford case and other than one very small tool mark on the bed is extremely clean
It comes with the original Denford electronics cabinet and is set up for probing
It is a heavy sturdy mill but I transported it in the back of an Audi A2. It is a two man lift to move it
The spindle is R8 which means there are a lot of tooling options available and all cheap, I used collet chucks and I will let one go with the machine but you would need to buy your own set of collets R25 or R32 I can’t recall under £30 for a set or just buy the specific collet you need for your tool dia size
I’ve machines ally. steel, brass, plastics and stainless steel on it with out any problems

Hi Paul, thanks for your email and sorry for my slow reply. That sounds like a great deal and perfect for long term project needs. I bought a cheap 3018 Chinese machine to do the pvc profile and I've changed my design for the Al so a circular hole works. I'll take the advert down for now, but when the next project comes along that needs a serious machine I'll get in touch.
Matthew.

Ok no problem
