    I started a thread in the New Member's section yesterday, but I will elaborate a bit more here.

    As previously mentioned I've not really got the time to learn how to build my own machine and would much rather spend what time i do have on learning how to use a pre built machine.

    Ideally with a minimum working area of 450mm x 600mm, Machining various hardwoods and plywoods, I would like some sort of dust extraction, either built in or a way to connect my existing extractor to the machine. Also, the machine would not be running all day every day with heavy usage.

    The software I've got a bit experience with is Sketchup & SolidWorks, and more recently Shaper3d on the Ipad Pro.
    Fusion 360 as also been recommended to look into by mekanik on the forum.

    Budget wise I like good quality tools, but I don't want to break the bank on this! I've had two quotes from two different companies that I will attach below.

    I would rather not spend that much if there are better value/recommended ones available?.

    Thanks
    Sean
