    You mentioned that if it worked for you, you might want to upgrade........????

    "My question-what type of machine would you recommend to start out on, and later, to "upgrade" to if it's worthwhile."

    I would find someone local that would take on your project for a reasonable price and see if this is really an area you want to get into. Do you need a centering vise, how large a table will you need next year 12 x 12 , 15 x 15 , 24 + the machine I pointed out on Ebay is win 98, xp, 7, compatible. G-Code controller (APEX) software is available to run....... not an area you just want to throw money at until you lock down your requirements.......
