Hmmmm, what's that saying.......If its too good to be true......ha ha. Let me know how you get on with it.

I enquired about a different brand and was quoted a price for two models, $16000 and $34000. But it did include delivery and for a tech to fly 2000klm to set it up and train me. My chisels suddenly became more attractive.

I saw a video of a $200 kit for a vertical machine that supplied the motors, controllers, cables and hardware. The buyer supplies the wood frame. Worked pretty well for a cheesy setup.

I haven't read enough on this thing to flop down a 'c' note for it. It just big enough for CB carving.

Hi Taffy I have a CNC and its great.  Search Google "Hobby Bench Top CNC" or Heinz CNC (I have one of these the S720)  https://www.cnc-step.com/engraving-machine/

Shapeoko CNC or X Carve are also very good.  The price you pay is dependent on the 'bed size' and is quite reasonable

Cheers

This thing runs around $2,400 on all the sites I checked. Wonder what's going on with a $100 unit.

Seriously, I wondered the same thing. A couple years ago a buddy of mine bought a dirt cheap drone at giveaway prices from a startup company, that same drone today will eat a $1000! Its either that or motors and controllers are extra. It really looks flimsy to me, but what do I know?

I worked for a well known GFCI manufacturing company when a tv shopping channel ordered a butt load of the smaller units and were selli g them cheaper then they could be made for! In the end the manufacturer "never" got paid for the product! Just wondering if this is the case. On the very bottom of page it says "FLASH SALE 2019" just above payment methods.

Funny thing the"PAGE CAN NO LONGER BE FOUND!"  Imagine that! Looking around for reviews I came across this video on a$400 CNC MACINEMACINE.

Sort of address the question about the quality of the $99 unit!!

I have one of the chinese machines, cost me £230 in the UK and believe me they are a pain in the ass.
Flaky components, especially psu and control boards, and one hell of a learning curve to get them doing what you want.
That said, master one of these and you are good to go with a 'big boy' machine later.

If I'm not mistaken the company's original name written in English was "Chucked You Farley"! Or their motto.
