Hello
I'm looking for a CNC that can machine aluminum with the best precision. My budget is currently under $2k

Not sure that's going to happen. To get precision machining aluminum you probably need to add a zero to that $2k.

2K will get you nothing that can hold a tolerance

I didn't say anything about precision machining, I'm talking about choosing the best precision of those two variants.

Hi,
I think both of those variants have round rails, which might be OK for engraving and woodwork, but aluminum.....no.....I don't think either will do a good enough job that you'd be happy with.
