Make your own!!!
I currently use an Excellon machine at work which was intended to drill and rout printed circuit boards. I use it to make test jigs and assembly aids... and cameras - see my panoramic camera link in my signature line.
I am also using it to make my own CNC router.
If you do a Google search for DIY CNC you will find all sorts of clever applications of various complexities which people use to make their own machines.

When I was routing the edge to hold the GG, I did it with a hand held router. That's what real men do...
Or was it real men do it with a hammer and chisel??

Real men would use a rebate plane.

Despite having made guitars with hand tools only, I tend to treat all materials the same now. If it can be machined out of aluminium, I will use the same technique for wood (or Perspex).

Real men whittle while drinking moonshine, after they hand bore a rifle barrel.

There's mosquitoes on the river, fish are rising up like birds. It's been hot for seven weeks now, too hot to even speak now, did you hear what I just heard?
Real men used something called a burin, flaked from an obsidian core, and made their groundglass backs out of mammoth ivory. It helped to kill the mammoth first,
before it killed you. You had to keep your distance until your atlatl was properly loaded. They didn't have autofocus cameras back then either. And if you spent too
long under the darkcloth, the smell of the wooly hide would get to you - if your own smell didn't get to you first.... At least this last feature of LF photography hasn't
changed much over the millennia.
