I researched companies for 2 years and I'm completely happy with my Pro4824.
I've carved wood, aluminum, bronze, 1/4" steel and even granite without any issues. It's been almost 3 years and all I've done is grease the bearing blocks.
Oh, and it's almost paid for itself Twice.
I couldn't afford the $6k so I bought the cnc first and the electronics a few months later.
