Maybe $3-5K will do you.


In fact, by now it's already down to $1950 for the whole thing, shipping
and CNC software extra.

It's a Chinese machine, obviously, but ships from US (NV), at least that's
what they are telling on the phone. Haven't ordered it yet but considering
it, so I called them and asked about availability. It sounded like they
are getting them from China in batches, then prepping for sales here and
fulfilling orders, so they'd be in stock one month and out of stock the
next, regardless of what the site says.

It's a 32" x 20" bed, 40W cutter/engraver, so won't actually cut much
beyond 1/8" acrylic but since the OP is talking about engraving wood,
it'll char any wood just fine and can cut balsa and other thin wood as
well and do plenty of other interesting things.
