First CNC machine

Post Body

I’m looking for my first CNC machine to help me learn CAM using Fusion 360 and in the process learn how to machine aluminum, as it’ll add to my skill set at work.

I have a limited budget, roughly £600 atm.

I’m aware of the company’s like sainsmart/ foxalien and also carbide 3d.

I found the following shapeoko 3 on eBay

In peoples opinion is this a better option (if I can get at a sensible price) then the sainsmart/foxalien options.

Seen a shapeoko 3 machining aluminum, have people on here had success with the same machine?

Thanks in advance
