Yeah the more i read on the x2 its seems i would be better off with a x3 or larger mill. My main idea was to get the prototype off the ground and then invest in a smaller cnc mill simmilar to this

For around or under 6 k wouldnt mind investing since i would use it for other things around the farm anyhow. But as of now this is a pipe dream until if/when i get the item on the market. This is why i was looking into the x2, for LOW COST but i need reliability and repeatability and those are 2 diffrent things with this machine from what i read. I just need to find a deal on the x3, mabye harbor freight will come out with another 20% coupon soon and that will drop the cost a few hundred.
My main concern is converting to DRO after purchasing, not cnc since i would upgrade to a larger cnc mill or farm it out if the prototype took off.
