Desktop cnc carver/rourter

Hello… I produce wooden mailboxes… I am looking for a cnc to cut custom brass or aluminum inserts for them … ie… name ect… the workpiece that I would be producing would be relatively small… I have run cnc lathes when I was a much younger man working in machine shops… but that was back in the 80’s… I’m not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination… I would want something portable enough to be able to run at local craft shows ect… I would have the mailboxes already assembled with cut outs machined for the inserts… I would want something all inclusive… any suggestions on what machine would be best for me ?

Hello @Ozzie64 and welcome to the forum!

I think you should give a look at the Tabletop Milling Machines section of the store.

what about carving in 3D for foam, anyone know what would be the cheapest option?

I think a hot wire cutter would be the best solution, but it seems that RobotShoo does not sell one at the moment.

Here is one example product:
