Yep thought so but thought I’d ask here anyway! 
It certainly used to be the case that the second-hand market in machine tools was where your money bought you the most, assuming you didn’t need absolute state-of-the-art performance and could live with the slightly (maybe only very slightly) higher risk of downtime. There are even people (hobbyists mostly, but nonetheless …) who build their own machines.
Do you need a heavier duty machine that’s able to cut fast and deep or will you be happy to leave a job running overnight, slowly making a single piece ? Do you want to be able to auto-change tools ? How heavy might the timber blanks be (this matters for small machines which move the workpiece along one axis) ?
Oh certainly speed won’t be a requirement, happy to leave jobs running. And only using a single bit at a time.
Main job will be these ~300mm square blanks of hardwood (Oak, Maple and potentially more exotic) but I’d like to do 25mm MDF and Plywood speaker baffles for example.
You could always follow Russ Collinsons example and build your own…

I’ve been following New Yorkshire Workshop for a while, love his content even if its more home restoration these days!

Been trying to print in ABS for the first time - coffee machine drip tray. Have been struggling with warping and the last print (fourth try) looked promising. Until this happened:

3d printed cake speakers for the bake off. Starts out as a fully sealed design and by lunch time it’s a open baffle design.

You can buy one that does chocolate for £300 or so.
