Need advice on best CNC for our new business.

Hi hope to get some advice on best CNC machine without costing thousands as we are a new company. We build mini arcade cabinets out of MDF, Max size panels we cut are approx 700mm by 700mm so don’t think we need a massive CNC. We sometimes also cut Perspex so a machine that can cut both if possible would be great.

What would a good starter model be, what would the cost be and has anyone got a link to some models? Don’t mind buying second hand but would ideally need machine, software and whatever else is needed to simply connect a pc and get cutting. We have all our cabinet designs in DXF format. Please excuse me if they are daft questions or if I have missed something as really new to this so any help or guidance would really be appreciated.

Hi Arcade,

Did you manage to find a machine ? Have you considered building your own ?
