OK, so here is my first post (of many most likely) on my search for a CNC machine. I have been involved in woodworking for over 35 years and I have finally gotten to the point of getting tired of paying others to do my wood carving/engraving for me and would like to start doing it myself. My problem is that I do not know where to start. I have done a lot of research on the internet only to find that it does me no good since I don't really know what I am looking for or even where to start my search. Every company has really good things to say about their equipment (of course they do, they are wanting to sell it) and when I read something good, reviews that I read almost always give it poor recommendations. I figured the best place to get information about them are from the people who have the experience, hence me being at this forum. Can anyone give me a good place to start on my search for a good, reliable, within a home woodshop budget, CNC milling/carving machine. I have looked at main brands such as CarveWright, CAMaster, Laguna, etc, but I don't know if what they offer is what I need, if it is overkill, underkill, etc... Any help getting on the right path would be greatly appreciated. Stacey
