Where to start?

Jon, not saying it can't be done but you are asking a lot from one machine.
Best bet would be to start by drawing up some designs & posting them, that's generally the best way forward with this sort of thing. Once you have a design posted some of the more experienced guys will give you pointers to help improve it if it needs it.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the response. To be honest I thought that I was asking too little from one machine given that it's nothing that I can't do with a far less sophisticated manual machine :) Albeit in a ridiculously slow and idiotic way :)

What's the bit that bothers you? Surely I could at least do drilling and milling of PCBs and small panels?

I'll try and draw up plans as you suggest.

Regards,

Jon
