I am looking at purchasing a CNC router, i have absolutly zero experience with CNC machines so i was hoping there would be someone out there on the WWW to give me some advice. I am going to post the specs on 2 machines i have been looking at both are the about the same price but on has a larger working are than the other. Any advice/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We would be working mainly with thin (1-3mm) aluminium sheet, but we would also like to be able to work wity polycarbonate sheet, and carbon fibe sheet.
