New to all this cnc stuff, looking to buy a Heiz machine

Thanks jazzcnc,
didn't mean any offence about Hartlepool - just a joke really, trying to keep the post light hearted ! I'm from Cumbria.
Anyway, that's just the sort of constructive input I was looking for, and reassuring. I have spent hours searching for suitable machines, and this is why I came around to the Heiz. All the other machines seem either to be produced in and supported from the US, or produced in China, and not supported from anywhere - with the added complication that the software is useless. The Heiz is supported from Prototools in Belfast, and I have yet to read a really negative review, on here or anywhere else.
Can you suggest any other makes that produce affordable entry level table top sizes ? I'm keen to get started.
As regards software, I was looking at the Vectric stuff - any thoughts ?
Thanks for your time and help.

No problem and I didn't take offence just playing the north south windup game .. Lol

Unfortunatly I can't recommend any company in UK that I'd say provides a quality machine at sensible money. Yes there are some who provide quality machines but the money isn't sensible. That said it doesn't mean I'm recommending the Heiz either because to me they are too expensive for what you get and 3K can build you a much stronger machine with far better components. Obviously this only works if you have the abiltys and tools to make your own but if you just have even slightest abilty's you can build a very nice machine with quite limited tools so don't be afraid.
