If you're looking for a less expensive and verified good CNC machine that can handle 4' x 8' sheets of MDF or plywood, check out the recently updated Lowrider 2.

Rough estimate on cost is about $500 + whatever spindle you want to use.

Very interesting, I’ll have to look into that, thanks Scott.

I'm with MikeA on this one.  My machine weighs over 1500lbs, and it still isn't quite beefy enough to do some of what I would like it to do.  There's a reason why the demos show mostly thin stuff being cut, and light passes on wood.  This, IMHO, is a fiddly "tech geek" toy that will probably leave you wishing you invested the money in something more practical.
