I would get a regular milling machine and convert to CNC. Need to go slow and learn process as you go. I speak from 30 years of machining experience- both manual and CNC.

Thank-you, sir for the info. I will NOT be acquiring that machine!
I plan to take it slow, starting with a small machine, & eventually, HOPEFULLY get into bigger machines.
