I can recommend their machines for getting into machining. I am not a machinist but electronic designer and software engineer, their machines got me hooked up with machining skills.
Be aware the machine is only half the price, tools will cost another half of it (there are many sources available). I got the head temperature a little bit down by installing japanese bearings on the spindle.
I process aluminium, acrylic, acetal (POM), a little bit steel and even a little bit wood sometimes; I converted my machine to CNC.
I had no prior machining experience and after 2 years I'm fully comfortable with it and even built a manufacturing machine with 0.02mm accuracy with the help of their (cnc converted) lathe and milling machines.

What's the price for this?

[@mrechbreger]

​@@DEGENEBABA I have a separate lathe and mill, the machinery is below 1k $, tooling is another 1k $ at least, converting the machinery to CNC requires an old PC and a few motors that's not expensive (if you want something better you'll need a MESA card)

You are reasonable actually. I've been a machinist for 20 years and always feel we have to buy cutting tools with higher price than the machine cost sometimes when I'm doing the operator. And WEISS is also selling cutting tools for the lathe and milling machine for their products actually. And the Japanese spinder is not acceptable due to the price, probably the Taiwanese spinder will be a good option if customers have a higher budget.😁

​@@winson4105 for a beginner you have to count in breaking tools for learning, that will be a small bag of endmills (a beginner should just not throw the broken endmills away, they will find some other purpose over time). I live in Taiwan nowadays, taiwanese endmills are good, for learning however I'd rather recommend cheaper (not the cheapest!! because the cheapest HSS-AL ones are ground by a blind man on a high mountain with a stone in China) chinese HSS(-AL) and some carbide endmills. The machine can handle Endmills up to around 10mm (but they need to be sharp).
