Hi all just need an idea which brand to go with for home shop mill CNC. Set aside up to 32 square feet for future mill.,garage eight foot ceiling. Looking for the largest CNC mid range lathe, not a toy but not those huge industrial ones either. Something between the 1000 to 5000 lb range up to 3 HP range that will stand up and forgive my ignorance. Also something that will cut helical gears for me. So many brands so far and maybe some no one has mentioned.
Sherline
Shop Bot
Haas
Techno-isel
Robo Drill

Price range up to 10k, any other ideas please let me know, leery about auctions because I don't know enough what to check for.

Cutting helical gears? On a lathe? Your going to need milling on it I think, and that pushes way over your budget.
