Your right Ed 4 x 8 isn't small in my world, mind you the place that made my boiler had CNC plasma's that were probably 8 x 30, so I guess its all relative. I'm thinking at least 4 wide to get a sheet into it, but 2 or 3 feet long would probably cut 99% of the parts I need.
Have another set of cabinets to build (funding for the table) then we should be starting a poor mans cnc build log.

I've been digging into it a bit and stepper motors are the way to go unless you need high speeds and very fine control. Then servo motors are better, but a lot more expensive.
