    Hi all,
    I am relatively new to DIY CNC machines. I have been looking for one pre-essembled so I can load my PC with software and start learning how to use it all. I want to mill and engrave aluminum as well as carbon fiber sheet, plastics and hard wood. Just as a hobby and to make things for my workshop at home.

    I do not want to spend a fortune. I have found one for sale, here in France. Please could you take a look at it and advise me what it might or might not me capable of ?.
    I have used Google translate to get the description into English the best I could.

    - 4 probotix Motors NEMA 23 400 oz / in
    (1 additional engine for a 4th axis)

    Milling with sensors limit of Y and Z

    Maximum forward speed: 1400mm/min
