Hi Torchhead,
Excellent info in your post. Thank you!
My biggest concern is making sure that there is the business to justify the investment - a little market research will rectify that. Although the plasma cutter would be relatively dirty (compared to a vinyl cutter) I do like the fact that it will diversify our business.
The direct drive vs belt/gear reduction is an interesting point. It seems to me that no one cnc system offers the best of all aspects - always seems to be a trade-off of some sort.
I like the idea of some sort of machine to run a router - getting tired of custom cuts by hand. Will have to do some research on that as well.
I will join CandCNCSupport Yahoo group. Thanks.
