How do you pick a CNC manufacturer?

Hi
Welcome to the forum.
The guys will need a bit more information if they are going to help.
Seems like you are looking for a milling machine? What size machineing area are you looking for?
Dean(jazzcnc) has a good reputation and has made some really nice machines, with luck he will offer advice.
Regards
Mike

Thanks, mekanik!
You're right, I'm still quite new so I tend to obviate things just because I have them in mind haha
I've only produced at one place which had a big CNC milling machine about 2500 x 1300, it's cool to have such area but normally I don't use the whole space so something with half of that area would suffice since I'm producing rather smaller pieces.
I'm looking for manufacturers, not for machines, so any recommendations on how to know if a manufacturer is good would be appreciated :)
