If you're willing to do some assembly, there's an opensource machine, the ShapeOko which is now on its second iteration --- while you can buy a kit from Inventables, the originial iteration of the project is fully-documented and one can source parts oneself --- still working on docs for the SO2.

It uses an aluminum extrusion called MakerSlide, so can be expanded to the sizes that's available in (up to 2M --- my machine has a 1M Y-axis).
