I have to repeat the points in this comment. I've worked extensively with low-cost CNCs, and they can't really do anything more than light engraving of aluminum and slow cutting of wood. There are some straightforward physical reasons for this (there is no cheap and fast replacement for mass and torque).

You’re absolutely right. If you’ve been around industrial grade equipment, it’s painful to watch hobbyists fiddle with equipment that is not very productive, and soon abandoned.
