I need the machine to engrave small lettering (no taller then 3/16") and logos, and also cut holes. Thats about all I really need it to do. Im trying to figure out what machine to buy, and what software will be the easiest for me to use being that I have no experience with a cnc. I am on a budget so cheaper the better. Lately I've been looking at imservice 12x24 desktop. The price seems reasonable and the size suits my needs. I also downloaded a demo of vcarve pro and liked it.
Im looking for opinions on what machine will suit my needs and budget, and what software will be best for me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
