Dave, you hit the nail directly on the head with that comment! 

Discussions about small CNC's are usually "blown off" the CNC groups 
by the metal cutters, as if it is not worth their time or effort for 
the little stuff. I've seen this happen many times over the last four 
years.

It's always the "Tim The Toolman" syndrome -- More Power! I did get a 
huge chuckle when the discusion on one forum was about the number of 
turns per inch a wire needed to be most efficient.

You can find dozens, if not humndreds  of sites that describe 
homebrewers' effort to build a small "starter" CNC. The simply and 
inexpensively do the job for the buildeers, drilling pcb's, cutting 
wax, balsa, and plastic.

The market is definitely there.
