Cnc machine is mainly just a controller with rails. There is little to know difference in all of them apart size user friendly software. The difference is in the router and the drill bit quality

+1 to that!  Although I appreciate how the hobbyist cnc router type machines are starting a new trend in the home machining/maker world, I'll stick with my 20hp Haas VF-3SS for now...

 

To the OP, something like the X-Carve is great if you're willing to invest the money but it's limited in it's abilities especially when you get into metals.

i know but i have a machine shop down the road that can pretty much machine any metal for little cost (as long as i provide material) so when it comes to metals im kinda set
