I've been task with purchasing a CNC Router for our Carpenter Shop to primarily make signage - but hopefully many other things as well.

I've only been budgeted with $12,000 to purchase a complete work center and I need recommendations because that looks like only half the budget I actually need.

Are there any good, complete, router packages available in the 10k range allowing the other 2k for tooling?

He has put some effort in it, so i let it slide......after removing the link.
Do not know about this link as i am on the phone so i can not check, but some of those links can make a mess out of a windows computer when clicked, less of a mess on Linux systems. On windows it can attack and acces everything, on Linux only the browser.

For only $10k you will get the most for your money with a used machine.

My paranoia is telling me the OP may originate from the same place as the 5 tips for CNC engraving. Just advertising.

Where ?
For that price you get an old used and battered ( but massive ) machine or a chinese crappy one that will have the table sagged in about a week of use, already dealt with several of them.
The "Maho retrofit kit" on ebay is more than that, alone, and the quality is ...... i do not know, never found anyone actually used them.
