What machine is required please

These austrian machines look the same as the cheap chinese parts. No good guides, maybe acme screws. All in all the same weak thing. Maybe the electronics are good, but the rest isn't. On their website, they have a small proxxon with 25W Motor on it. If you want engraving with 0,2mm doc that is enough, but for a real work, no way.
For small hobby use, you can buy such a machine, but if you want really produce parts on it, you need a much more capable machine, similiar to the machine I have recommended it before.

What about an openbuilds OX kit ?

It was my first machine and was great for the money.

Will cost you about £1000 by the time you've finished it, but its a great little hobby machine.
You will be able to cut about 1 to 3mm at a time depending on bit size and material.

You have to build it though...
