    Getting close to the point where I want to buy.

    Am I better off just trying to buy a VMC like a Tormach 1100?
    I have been looking around for one for a few weeks but they are a bit rare over here.

    Also trying to find other options though they are at least £10,000 :/


    Might it be worth spending a bit more trying to get a decent 6040 like frame rather than messing with a China frame?
    The thing is the part I want to make is not that tricky I don't think. Looks like we will be using 15mm thick aluminium.

    Surface finish needs to be at a point where I can just sand it down to a fine grit for anodising.

    Thoughts?

    [edit]
    Looking at some videos, it looks to do fine with pretty deep stuff...
