"Here is a superb comparison - Yesterday i received an Email from a Melbourne based CNC Router Business. They have just launched a marketing campaign for their new Mighty Boy CNC Router. It is a 1200 x 2400 machine, with 7 Station Auto Tool Changer, Vacuum System, and Dust Extraction. Installed, and with 3 days training it is $68,000.
For those requiring the "Gloss" it is probably a good buy.
However by importing our own machine from China - we are paying a lot less than half of this price! I would rather keep money in my bank account and do my own cleaning!

For that price I guess I could over look the
violation of human rights

currency manipulation

and having a state controlled media.

On second though maybe not.
But my point is "What is the true "cost" of that discount?". A lot more than you seem to think.
Liberty for ALL,
