Hi

I’m a wannabe CNCer (I’m a furniture and cabinet maker working manually at moment)

Looking to spend about £3k on a Chinese cnc. I know it’s risky but I’m happy to give it a go.

What is a dream spec? There are aggregate, 4 axis, rotary etc. Some have numerical controller some seem to be PC.

I want a machine that can grow with me. I make a lot of Georgian style pieces so mouldings would be good etc.

I also make wardrobes using Festool dominos. Drilling the holes takes ages, so a machine that can do top and side holes would be awesome. I don’t know about the practicality of side drilling machines though.

Thoughts appreciated. I’d be happy to have someone for an hour or twos consultancy not expecting a freebie of info. I just don’t know anyone!
