Thanks for all the help and sharing of wisdom. I went with the Avid, because it’s local, it does what I need, it’s less than half a more robust new one, and it left me $$ to buy another toy…. Wait for it…. Wait for it…. A 3D Scanner. EinScan Pro+ 3D scanner that I stole (not literally) for way less than retail. I already have two clients lined up that want me to replicate some carved rosettes and embellishments in two historic homes.

The CNC included software and licenses, computer, tooling, and the guy is helping me move and set up in my shop.
