If your wanting to buy off the shelf then I'm afraid not.

The problem comes from the fact to build anything of decent quality that's worth selling and Make Profit which business needs is impossible at this price point.

Those Kits your looking at will work for basic jobs but with limited capabilty's. Don't be fooled by Video's of them cutting Aluminium and Steel etc because it's false.!! . . . I can make my mother sawing machine do that but won't last very long or be very good and same applies here.!

They are great for learning the intimate workings of CNC machine and what's needed for good machine because in short amount of time the poor design and flimsy construction means you'll spend lots of time fixing and working around all it's short comings than you will actually cutting.

If you are at all handy and few tools(and know how to use them) then with £1500-2000 you can build a nice machine that will do everything you want and then some.
That said it will need careful planning and research to achieve. This is not something to rush into else you will waste money quickly.

However all you need to know is here on this forum and plenty of good designs and helpful people. If you do go down the DIY route feel free to contact me, I'll gladly guide you thru the Booby traps and advise on the best approach.
