Looking to buy a desktop style cnc with an approximate work area of around 24"X36" hoping to score a good user friendly machine and apply a good user friendly software to it or have it included, whatever the best deal is? Any of you pro's out there cutting composites that can throw me a bone and lead me in the right direction? Any and all help is considered extremely valuable, and will be considered in the decision making process. I just want my first machining experience to be tried and true, as well as enjoyable. Thank you in adavance for all your help.

up to around 6mm carbon fiber sheet

Save some of that money for a good dust collection system; carbon fiber makes some of the worst dust there is.

My intentions are to use a wet area to protect both the equipment and myself, really just need to know what the dependable machines are.
