So I am looking to get into the CNC business with a friend of mine. I am all about computers, Cad designs and custom wood working. I have been restoring and building custom 80's arcades by hand and I am looking to get a solution that will cut most of my time down.

I have been talking to Laguna, and they basically offered me a Smart Shop 2 4x8 system for about $43,900, but before I go blowing out the cost of a new SUV I want to make sure I am getting a Cadillac vs a Kia. who are some other manufacturers to compare with?

Any help out there?
