The only attempts I've knocked are those involving complete machines 
that end with orders placed with full or down payments and no 
subsequent deliveries (aka stealing).

I think the real problem with the sub 1K CNC market is that there is 
none. The volumes are just not there, otherwise, these things would 
be made in China and sold here in the US and elsewhere like just 
about everything else worth making some money on these days. You'll 
see a lot of lip service given to the idea here but the truth is that 
DIY oriented people are the tightest wads under the sun (myself 
included).

Who is this if you don't mind me asking?
