Have a read trough the build logs on here to get an idea of what can be achieved .

Be very careful buying any kits.
Thanks for the advise re kits.

I want to be able to make signs with engravings. An example would be an engraved dogs head with the text Beware of the Dog, that sort of thing.

I don't think engraving aluminium, is something that I would consider doing at this stage.

X, and Y possibly 750 x 500mm

All thoughts of a suitable machine for around 1.5k would be appreciated.

Thank you

Tony
