Was thinking of dropping 5-10k on a cnc. Is there a lot of demand out there? Is 4x4 enough room to make an extra 100k? Any success/heartbreak stories?

IMHO. Be certain you can get the work before you get the machine. We got a CNC VMC because we were sub-contracting work to outside CNC shops. It was simply a matter of doing the work ourselves and not the bigger task of finding regular work for it and building a business around it.

Wonder what happened to ? he was on this site a while back?

I have a woodworking business already, so I’m pretty sure it would ease parts of my workflow

Yes, you could get more or better work for your core business because of the added variety and volume you could run on your cnc.
