Greetings all. I am insanely busy at the moment, but I need to lay out a basic financial plan for this fall and for that I need to get a decent idea of how much money I need to allow for this tool.

I need a 4' x 8' CNC Router table for cutting MDF up to 3/4, plastics up to 1/4, and possibly aluminum sheet metal. Accuracy of 1/16" should be more than good enough for my work.

I'm looking at the "CNC Router Parts" kit, but it's a bit more expensive than I was hoping I could get away with.

So, how much money would I need to allow for building 100% DIY using one of the sets of plans from this forum vs. buying a kit like the one from CNC Router Parts? I'm just looking for a decent ballpark figure so I know what to put in my budget for this.

Thanks!
