I'm thinking about getting a CNC engraving machine that can at least handle aluminum (6061 and 7075) to 'mark up' lowers and such. Looking to hear if anyone has one of these (working area to at least handle an AR10 lower) and how it's worked for them. I'm seeing more than a few on amazon currently that aren't stupidly priced. One 4 axis machine is under $800 with other (DIY) options (3 axis) being a lot less (sub $300 in many cases).
Not looking to skin flint on this, but not looking to spend a stupid amount for something I'll use occasionally (or at least that's my initial thought). Knowing that if it can handle at least aluminum, it will handle softer materials. It's also possible, with the correct settings, to make light cuts in harder materials (with the correct bits).
