Threaded View

Hi All,
I am new to the 'CNC game' and am looking for some advice / recommendations from experts on which CNC machine I should buy. The 'story is' that I am about to retire and I want to buy a CNC and software to keep me busy. I am computer literate and I have researched the internet and it looks like Vectric Aspire software will do for me but I am struggling with which machine to buy.
I am looking for a CNC:
- with a cutting area of 900mm x 600mm x 150mm
- cutting 3D relief on wood
- create custom inlays etc.
I have a budget of around £5000
This will be a hobby for me so the tolerances don't need to be of industrial standards. I have seen lots of machines advertised, Amazon, eBay (from China), German and UK. So before I make a decision some guidance from you would be appreciated
Cheers
Rich
