Hi Guys my 1st post.

To start i know nothing about cmc machines, please bear that in mind.

I run a sign company and in the past have used the zund cutters with the camera for cutting prints from a flat bed printer etc.

Im toying with the idea of getting a cnc for cutting various materials to be printed on etc.

my requirements would be

able to cut 8x4ft sheets
various grades of foam board 3mm, 5mm, 10mm
aluminium composite sheet
acrylic sheet various depths 3mm, 5mm, 10mm

nothing to fancy cuts, just things like letters square cuts etc.

whats my options as i want to spend as little as possible as id like to upgrade to a machine with a camera at some point..

is there basic budget machines available or would a chinese machine be suitable, to be honest i don't know where to start...

thanks in advance
nick
