I am very space limited and looking to have a small CNC mill that I can use to manufacture some aluminum/mild steel parts in my garage. I have seen desktop mills -- such as the Carvera or Shariff DMC-2 -- but think that these machines likely won't have the rigidity nor cutting power for the applications I plan on using them for (such as an aluminum upright for an off-road buggy). The options I am currently considering are:

1. Purchasing a 5019DSLS Taig Micro Mill

2. Purchasing a Grizzly G0704 manual mill and converting it to CNC

I really don't want to spend more than ~$5,000 on this (I have looked at Langmuir's MR-1, but feel like I 1) don't have the space and 2) will quickly exceed my budget by a long shot. Any suggestions?
