Low budget machines could lead only to frustration, i believe.

The Alu profiles are expensive for a build.

For me the cheapest CNC should have the following things as a must and then around them build the rest:

-water cooled spindle and VFD.
-reliable breakout board
-reliable motor drivers
-supported rails

Save some more money and buy a mini mill, at least you will definitely return your money producing some quality things.

All these 3040 and so are toys.

Sad but true.

silyavski, you may be correct in calling them toys, but the OP only want's to drill PCB's and some wood so I think they will do that. What he will learn from that experience will be invaluable in deciding the next step.
