Hi All,
I'm looking into to getting a cnc machine and have been looking at the Stepcraft 840. Please can anyone out there with a stepcraft machine let me know if their happy with their purchase as regards Setup/reliability/ease of use etc.

I have up to three K to spend.
. I am a hobbyist who will be working with soft/hard woods and some lite aluminium work. (I like the idea of being able to use it as a 3D printer)
This type of software will all be new to me as well.

I would appreciate any other suggestions anyone has for the 1K-3K price range.

Many Thanks

Alex C.
