Wood cnc router for hobbyist

[nerostjames]

Thanks for the advice fellas, I'm not looking to build my own as not really that way inclined, would prefer to buy readymade, I find the whole CNC thing extremely fascinating and definately want to explore further. £1000ish is well within my budget, so at least have a staring point there. I guess the next step is to actually see one in the flesh and see what I would get for my money, as said before I only want to do text and the odd bit of decorative stuff, nothing too elaborate.
I read there was model fair at Harrogate demonstrating hobbyist CNC's, I'll have to check around to see where the next demos are.

Many thanks again for your friendly advice.

That's what everyone says when they first start out
Once you get a machine up and running you soon get other ideas on what you could make on the machine and then wish you had made a bigger machine!

Have a largish (too large for me really) gantry based machine in my shed (Mostly MDF not made by me) old Camtronics interface but no PC.
Looking for something a lot smaller such as the desktop machines.
Location is East Devon and would need to be collected, will help load.
