800 x 600 machine for £1500 - Is it possible?

thanks :) If I can do what is done in this video then I'll be a happy bunny!

Bearing in mind this is the aluminium plate belt drive version with a 1.5kw spindle and weaker motors. I'm building with rack and pinion drive, steel plates, steel reinforced beam and stronger motors :)

That's fine if you are happy with 0.5mm DOC as you can see they say only use a 3.2mm EM at .5mtr/min to cut that ali you should be able to do it in one pass. I am only saying this because for £1500 - £1800 you could build a machine that could cut ali properly at a decent feed rate and DOC.
