I am looking for suggestions about a small and compact CNC milling machine to sculpt decorative figures in metal and stone plates. I have no experience with such machines (I once saw an industrial one using high pressure water to cut through marble, but it's beyond my needs, budget and expertise), but I would not need a professional level machine, just a hobby level one with basic functionalities
I would like to know the following information:
- suggestions for resellers and products
- expected price
- expected maintenance
- tips for usage and precautions

There are a bunch site like hobbycnc that sell plans and parts to build your own hobby cnc. Here's a site that sells a kit. Looks pretty neat actually...now I know what I want for Christmas!
Update: Just found the Torchmate series. They have a Torchmate 2x2 version starting at $3000.
