Thanks for some great advice.
I've looked at the Othermill and others of similar models. The othermill I do like but I don't like the price, although it's so cool. I am in deep thoughts about a stepcraft machine-
These are really exciting me at the moment as there's plenty of online stuff showing them in use.
I asked about Chinese manufactoued machines as often they are value for money. Trouble is there's so many to chose and very difficult to weed out the good from the bad. The websites seem to be very confusing and from online reports often lead to issues with communication and replacement parts. If I were to choose one I'd get one already in the UK. or close.
I've spotted this on EBay -
But not sure.

Again - most important veryyyy sturdy frame and high spindle speed, min 40,000 preferred 100,000 if you really want to mill PCB's.
Most Iso software have a tork setting which makes the start and stop smooth.

I know Adafruit uses a couple of Othermills to do proto boards. $3300, and there's much info on the Adafruit web site.
