billbartuska> anything below 2k$ (in total) that can do the job is fine (dont need speed), can go higher if the specs are good. The problem that I have no idea where to find theses machines and I don't have time for driving around to random places. The only one that I've found in my "neighborhood" is 12k$, for a rapid prototyping machine. But the max size on that is to small.

But the main difference between one for wood/plastic and metal should just be the speed that it works with?

Why cant one use a router as mill?
