Micro Mark's MicroLux Tabletop Multifunction Machine. Whatever you want, it does it. And you can get every kind of attachment you want. My latest catalog lists it for $500, but it is a few months out of date.

Not evrything is on the site. You'll probably want to order a free catalog.

I've got one of these, and it's very good. Needs some minor adjustments but then it is adream to work with. It was about €450.

I find micromarks stuff is expensive. If your just using these machine for Hobby use, You can pick up cheap powertools at harborfreight.com They dont have the highest quality tools, but they do work. I wouldnt recommend them for buisness use tho.
