4 x 6 is well within the capabilities of a retro fitted seig X1 micro-mill
and it is capable of proper machining of metal for panel cut-outs etc.
or whatever.
I believe you can get retro fitting kits rather than do what I did,
and make it up as you go along.
I won't include a link as plenty of things turn up on a google search
