I would recommend the UP2000 HiE. This would more than handle what you have describe. If you have a lot of warped boards, the side clamp retro might be for you. I haven't had much production experience with the grid lock, but I know of several pe

The machines I have been looking at range from about $13K to about as high as $30K. These numbers reflect a complete system with all the various sound enclosures, vacuum systems, starter kits etc. Right now I am looking at 60K rpm spindle machines
