The first consideration is, at your estimate of 250Kg machine weight is the apartment floor concrete? If you are going to add concrete weight, how will you remove the machine at a later date? As others have suggested, buy an old machine and rebuild it using new electronics because machining and labour are very expensive. Also the time and effort to build from scratch would maybe be better spent learning how to use software. Also a modified machine has some resale value.
