Thanks both.

I do have the space for a large machine (unused garage with power) and would love one as I also build boats as a hobby and it would be great for cutting panels but I don't want to spend large sums of cash buying one just yet. I was looking at something like a 6040 to start with if I went that route.

I sell the finished product for £11.99 (yes, I made a loss with the first batch) so really need to get the production costs down to the £4-5 mark which *should* be achievable.

I have looked over the whole of Kent and just can't seem to find anyone who has a CNC and is willing to do small batches.
