Think ill be getting the wiring kit as I SUCK at anythign soldering or wiring etc.
Robin, just been in the UK post and will look at the screwfix stuff for the first run, can always upgrade to stainless or carbon later 
@turbomacncheese thats very helpful. Im not actively looking to cut metal, more just thin alu or similar for house signs etc. Most of my use will be for butcher blocks and other crafts.
The cricut is a little beast, I just cannot stand the proprietary tech surrounding it. Web interface, Cricut monthly service (for designs etc).
With the CNC, I know it will be a hassle, but Ill learn the thing in any case and can adapt. This just gives me a bigger space and more features for less deskspace (in total)
