Yeah top one is definitely special use, buddy who’s a theater tech designed it, great for cutting lots of paracord. There were some lessons learned on this initial batch but using a CNC really let’s you get creative with designs. All were made on this machine off Amazon
I’m biased bc I own this machine but for $1K on amazon, you get way more hardware with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098XGTCJ7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_MDX08WBZNQ8ETPFF98ZC
Ballscrews vs. belts, 1.5 kW VFD vs. 300 W DC motor, Linear bearings (rod based) vs. V wheels, Die cast frame vs. extrusions,
In terms of support however, you probably get more with those other machines so it depends on what your priorities are.
