My budget is around £800~, Though I wouldn't like to spend this all On a CNC Machine as I need to buy ALU, motorbike parts and my Mod1+2

My current criteria are:

Supported Rails
A3 workable area

I plan to:
Mill Aluminium.
Acrylic

What would you recommend as you guys know best? is the LC spindle really needed over a cheaper alternate such as the kress.

is 40mm Alu Profile ok to build a machine of my needs with?

is making the leap to 25mm supports really needed for a A3 machine?

what Force Nema 23 motors will I get away with?

Thanks.


PS. I have a Drill Press, Some Cobalt bits, Files and Lots of time so I souldn't need anything CNC'd for me to make it :)

but if I do, You'll have a PM,
