Oh, yeah, I saw plenty of ones that were cheaper but the reviews suggested that it would be prudent to give them a wide berth! 

I was more thinking of the CNC for cutting any flat-ish timber components; although a 5-axis machine with sufficient precision (e.g., via a specialist milling service) could potentially be used to make moulds for plastic injection manufacture.  How many component variations are there to make?
