Not miffed at all my son, I don't sell them so no vested interest there.
Looked at the picture you posted but can't see any motors, the OP asked for CNC and in this post the Sieg KX3.
So to post back to the OP there is no reason why a KX3 cannot do what you need.
Biggest limitation on the KX3 for what you require is the Y axis travel is 150mm.
The X3 converted to CNC is 190mm in the Y axis.
This is a stainless steel loco wheel 85mm diameter, 10mm thick cut with a 4mm carbide cutter.
Batch of 12mm square lathe tools in high tensile steel.
Flywheel 80mm diameter in brass, drawn, coded and cut in 40 minutes to prove how easy the concept of CNC is.
Two housings in aluminium approx 5" x 3" for a vintage Alvis car, all CNC machined including the thread milling but not the welded bridge which was done after.
Helical gear done on the 4th axis with simple form tool.
Herringbone gear done in one pass as one piece on the 4th axis.
