Well we have our 12' x 5' OMAX installed, and we just finished training. A few things that kind of irk me. First is the absence of a pendant, try setting the z clearance on a nozzle by yourself when you cant reach the keyboard and tip at the same time! Their is a automatic standoff feature, which seems kind of cheezy. It basically has a small (nema 23 I think) stepper motor that crams the nozzle into the workpiece. When it hits the workpiece the stepper stalls (hate that sound), it then raises up a preset distance and zero's the counter. Their are issues with this method clogging the nozzle, so we won't be using this.
Accuracy seems to be pretty good so far though, we'll see how it goes once we start running it more.
