A typical diy cnc router has fairly loose tolerances compared to a milling machine or lathe but is capable of much tighter tolerances than most other woodworking.
So we currently have 2 machines like this one.

Sheetcnc can machine really big stuff the full board sheetcnc has a working area of 1 25m x 2 47m and offers 240mm of z travel.
