Hey guys,
After having some career/midlife crisis. I started a Cabinet making/shopfitting business with my friend. We are looking to invest into a CNC machine to assist with the jobs.
After some googling, I just got more confused…if someone familiar with these, can you please give me some suggestion on some machine I could consider or where to get help with these? Our price range would be around $100k.
Thank you for all your help.

Welcome to OzPremiumInvestments. We have plenty of luxury vehicles to choose from, with plenty of change for your $20k CNC mill.
People joke about this.
But if you bought a BMW M5 CS you'd really have a high-yield investement.
BMW’s fastest car, the M5 CS, sold in small numbers for $305,900 drive-away before owners advertised cars for as much as $800,000, while the sought-after McLaren 765LT has increased from a list price of $609,650 to $900,000-plus in the second-hand market.
The range-topping Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series coupe has climbed from $796,900 new to $1.5 million in the classifieds.

You forgot to mention that the indicators were in new condition.

I've got distant relatives that seem to have quickly made bank out of their cabinetry business.

Thanl you. I'll have a check on these. Hopefully I can come back to hook you up with that beer :)
$240,000 over budget and a 5 axis machine is for doing 3D objects out of metal, not wood.
While I have no association, I would suggest looking at a locally made machine, for example, ART - Advanced Robotic Technologies. When the machines work everyone is happy, if you have a machine that fails and you cannot find someone with local expertise to fix it, you have a significant problem. Additionally consider what safety devices the machine has incorporated, and understand how the machine will be likely used, misused, and misunderstood; all with good intention.

Thank you for all the suggestions guys. Really appreciate it.
We are able to increase our budget to 200k so if there's any suggestion please let me know.One of our clients uses Biesse machines (they have a few of them). They are a commercial furniture supplier.
We use a Blue Elephant machine in our warehouse, only use it when it’s needed. Does a really good job for us cutting acrylic.
With a $100k budget, you'd be limited to a 2400x1200 machine.. Have a look at:
Woodtron https://www.woodtron.com.au
or
Anderson https://woodtech.com.au/collections/cnc-machines
Are you currently using any 3D design software? It's important to factor that cost into the equation as well, as you will need a post to generate gcode to the machine.
Thanks mate. Would you have any recommendations for something around 200k as I would prefer to be able to work with bigger pieces
Still look at Woodtron for that price range. I would think you could get a 3600x1200 machine within that budget, but perhaps not fully automated.
I don't personally know a lot about CNC machines, but I can tell you if talk to the sales staff about what you want to do they can help you pick the right product. Obviously they'll only sell the brands they've got, but you can get a good idea of what you're after.
B2B sales like this are very different from regular stores, they're a lot more incentived to build a good relationship.
Only CNC tips I've got is that you can buy used and get a very good product for a lot less, they're pretty hard to sell and transport. Second one is that you need to look at materials, some will be able to do steel and very hard metals like that and you can find products down to something that can only handle soft wood.
