I am very new to this CNC world of machines so I thoroughly apologize for asking such basic and limited questions. I am looking to set up a very basic cnc plasma cutter in my shop for making some simple parts. Does anyone know if this is worth $1000 to get started on?

I would have liked to build my own but if anyone thinks this can do the job I would be more than happy to purchase it. What, if any, other components would I need other than a torch height controller? What should I be expecting to pay for a simple plasma cnc setup?
