    Looking for new cnc for wood carving using Vectric Vcarve Pro

    Something maybe 2ft by 4ft size table and well built with precision for great looking carves. Under $10,000
    Wood mostly Im thinking. Is the The CNC Routerparts Benchtop any good or maybe the
    Legacy CNC machines like the Maverick.

    If there is a Rockler woodworking store in your area, they may have several models for you to look at. The store near me always has 3-4 models in stock.
    They may even have live demos. Some of the smaller ones start around $2K, but most are in the $4-6K range.

    There is also a Woodcraft in my town, but I have only seen one small CNC router there.

    I think the CNCRP Pro machines are better than the Legacy, mainly due to the linear rails.

    A Camaster Stinger may be a step up from there.

    I guess the support from these companies is real big thing. There are so many of them that won't be in business in 5 years I bet.
