    I think if you're planning on running a business from it, I'd look for something a little stronger than the 3020/3040 machines. You definitely want a machine with ballscrews to get the required accuracy.
    How detailed are the PCBs you're making? Just through hole components or surface mount?

    Hi Jonathan
    The PCB's I am making are a variety of conventional build designs and require accuracy for drilled holes and slotting over 6”- 10” range - I really don’t anticipate making many boards over this size , given that the land assigned in most design software is between 0.010” and 0.020” (depending on hole size).
    cheers Kev
