    $3k to spend, grizzly G0704 CNC, Micro-Proto?

    So I have been researching what to get for a small mill for my garage. I work mostly with aluminum building parts to attach electric motors, belts reductions, and chain drive to bikes and scooters.

    With my small budget I was looking at the All in one machines but was quickly talked out of those.

    I have now been looking at the Grizzly G0704 using in stock form for a while then doing a CNC fusion kit on it to bring it to cnc.

    Really why I am posting here today is there is a local small CNC machine that is never been spun up and is basically new but I am afraid it is too light for pretty much anything.

    Its a Micro Proto DSLS 3000 unit, you can see their site here and unit here: MicroMill DSLS 3000

    Guy has it for about 2k with the 4 axis but no software

    Would I be able to use something like this to cut my aluminum plates or should I stick with going the G0704 route?

    An example plate is attached
