[QUOTE=Andrewg;116788]Hi Skip,
You might want to do a bit more reading before you jump in to this hobby, as you are typically looking at spending thousands of pounds minimum.
However that does not mean you cannot dip your toe in the water for your budget. You can get a small CNC engraver off eBay for not much more than £100. Now you should not expect to get much cut successfully with such a machine, but it will introduce you to all the steps from concept to cutting, plus from building, troubleshooting and trying to improve the machine you will learn what you want from a proper machine. By the time you are ready to throw the machine in the bin in frustration, you will at least know if the hobby is indeed for you.
Good luck.
I’ve been practicing. I have fusion 360 free download and mach3 full version installed. I don’t know if mach3 runs properly on windows 10 though.
