Hello - I posted this in the general discussion, but after doing some looking I think a benchtop CNC mill would probably suffice for my needs. Here is the original post:

I will start this post by stating that I know absolutely nothing about CNC mills other than observing them from a distance and basic non-cnc mill use 20 years ago back in high school. That being said I may be starting a business that will require a CNC mill. In short, I need a mill capable of making essentially one cut in aluminum roughly (cut size: .5 Wx 2.0 L x 1.25 D) it also needs to be able to drill two 5/32 holes in said aluminum. This is a very simple machining project and one that could be performed easily on a manually operated mill, however this buisness is unique in that the customer is going to be perform the milling operation, so the need for uber-simple CNC machine is needed (i.e. place the billet here..under supervision of course.. press this button, remove billet and you are done)

So the question is what is the best value, lest expensive CNC machine capable of this job. That process is all it is ever going to have to do—one cut the two holes...over and over again. BTW the exterior dimensions of the billet of aluminum is roughly 8 L x 2 W x 5 D to give you a rough idea of the overall size of the project. Thank for the help.
