Oh dear... oh dear... Do it yourself CNC Kit for cheap

I am insane for even looking at this, but there is a project on Kickstarter to support a do it yourself CNC kit for manufacturing.  Not normally my cup of tea, but I would be interested in learning how to do so and I think it could be legitimately useful for my own company.  Game pieces, tokens and other stuff could be worthwhile.

At minimum, I may be able to tamp down on the urge by spreading the information.  I know a number of engineers in my network of friends who might be equally tempted by this.  Anyone local interested in potentially sharing one?    Realistically, I am interested more in the _functionality_ then the tool itself and I would be happy to just have the ability to occasionally craft something on someone else's machine.

It's also remarkably affordable this way....  Usually CNC would require more then a couple hundred dollars...
