The correct answer is your looking for a "Rebuilt" Bridgeport, and you need to be careful about the requirement for 3 phase power. While modern VFDs used as a phase converter are awesome, there can be issues with older motors. I have a used Bridgeport clone. Issues are, finding a location big enough with a strong enough floor. 10-20 thousandths of an inch slop in the X axis, finding parts, and the lack of a DRO, if you want to hit .001 Inch tolerances, you need a machine capable of .0001". I can get close with practice, even with the wear on the cross block, but I have to use a thick lubricant and a external dial indicator. Getting 2700 Lbs/ 1250 Kg into your home can be interesting. Also, choose your spindle wisely. R8 is a great size in the US for collets, but it might be probablematic getting "English" tooling in a metric world. Get a good vise with replaceable jaws. The quality of your Vise can make or break you.
These days Semi-professional table top machines in the 2000-3000$ and up class are fine for most hobbyists. In your case a Lathe with a 4 jaw chuck and milling attachment might be far smaller and easier.
Every country in the World except North Korea probably has at least a few used machines for sale at any time.
Expect to pay 1/2 to 3x the value of the machine for tooling. I'd check out the Blondiehacks videos. For most projects , you can hit that .001 on a beaten, used machine with shear determination, and even better if you have the three axis DRO. The question is how much of the bed travel can you maintain .001 over, in my case, on a 40 year old machine, its about 10 cm.
Also if overseas, check lead screw threads and what the manual dials are calibrated in.
I'm not a fan of CNC for one off pieces. I am a fan of CNC at 4 or more identical pieces. A good belt sander is a great investment, and expect to need a good power band saw for any serious hobby work.
X2 family is generally too small for real home projects if you want to machine "normally".
Grab the table, pull on it very hard, if you can feel anything, don't buy the machine. Buy a good dial indicator and test the used machine before purchasing.
Really, really check the spindle bearings and spindle runout over its whole travel. Dropping the spindle for bearing replacement in the home shop is my next task, and that is not going to be fun.
