Hi everyone,

I'm new to CNC and am going to ask the usual question - which machine should I buy/build? This has one slight difference from most of the questions on here though - I'm looking for a CNC machine that has an interchangeable head for laser engraving too. I'm looking at making signs for a local company from dibond aluminium, but also putting the machine to work when not making these signs by creating flat or 3D images from photographs in wood. I would also like to create laser engraved labels too, dog tags or house signs or similar.
I know I'm probably asking a lot, but when I delve into the internet to try and find machines that would suit my purpose I hit an absolute minefield of information that completely blows my mind and I end up not moving any further forward.
That's probably it for starters apart from saying the size of the signs I would like to make are around 400x500mm, oh, and I am reasonably handy so wouldn't shirk too much at having to put one together.

Thanks in advance
Chris
