CNC router choice out there.

Hello All! New to this site hoping to get some tips and knowledge from these forums once i get my router.

Basically I'm searching to buy a router that I can use to make stuff mainly out of wood, a router that would cut 18mm with ease.

Im a joiner at trade and looking to make some projects on the side as a hobby and see how it goes from there.

I was wondering if you guys can point me in the the right direction on what make to buy and what's worth the money etc to perform an accurate finish.

i was looking at proto tools and I dunno the prices look a bit steep? Or is that the normal?

is it easier to build your own having buying the parts separate if I make a table?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

chris
