Looking for a small CNC Hobbiest Machine
Good Evening( or whatever time of day it is if you see this.)
I am looking to get into machining some parts for hobby model cars, drones, and planes. I am wondering what everyone might suggest for an entry level super basic 3 or 4 axis machine. I do not have a lot of room to store it so it has to be around a bench top in size. The hardest material that I think I would ever cut would be carbon fiber, and maybe maybe one day aluminium.
Any help or guidance would be great.

Take a look at the Taig and Sherline mills we sell. They are small machines, but quite effective for parts that fit their envelopes. They are mills, not routers, so metals are not a problem. Carbon fiber (I'm assuming you mean carbon fiber composite), is difficult to cut for any mill; the material is abrasive and dulls cutters while the dust is very nasty - be careful with that stuff!
