@3D_Laser to the point of which machine.
I have access to the second one you posted above at work. It is a great machine and does a great job.
The reason I went with a different machine is that your unable to pass material through it. The small front panel that can be removed is blocked by the black rail at the front of the work area.
The table on mine is thin aluminium and for precision work you’d need to improve on that as I find it isn’t very flat or even. Obviously the exhaust fan requires an upgrade.
@Nigel_Conroy I am going with the second machine with the updated components I think it will be more than enough space for my needs plus I don’t know if I can get anything bigger through my door
