Howdy all,

I have a project that I've been working on and after figuring out what it will cost me in prototyping parts, I figure it will be best if I purchase a bench top mill. I'm also in the personalized gift business; therefore, I need something that will allow me to do some rotary engraving and possibly some 3D imaging stuff as well.

I've been looking at the Sherline 2000 mill and the Flashcut CNC controller. Does anyone know if this would be a good package and if not, is there something that would be better? I need a controller with a USB connection and will run on Windows Vista. I also can't afford to spend a great deal of money < $5K.

Thanks!
Regards,
Ed
