Makera sent me their Carvera Air desktop CNC machine to test out. It's a pre-assembled, ready-to-use mill that offers all kinds of cool features. In addition to a 4th axis module, mine also came with a 5W laser for engraving artwork right onto your materials. The motor is powerful enough to mill out aluminum as well as the usual wood, plastic, and epoxy. I especially like some of the thoughtful design choices like the 4th axis setup, the vacuum interface option, and especially the E-stop that can be placed wherever you want.
I did have some issues with the Windows control software, but it never failed during actual cutting. There are also options for Android control from a phone or tablet.
