Depends on what you consider a low price and what you consider good. Plasma CNC's have beeb being manufactured for years. Good ones can cost upwards of $20,000+. But a good older model (used) can sell for as little as $1000.00 or less. It all depends on what you are looking for and what you want it to do.

I am happy with my Dynatorch, including support. I just don't like the nesting software they recommended to me - Enroute - a bit quirky and hard to learn.

Where in Ontario are you? I know of 3 table manufacturers in Southern Ontario that may have something that you may want.
They may be a little pricier than what you would like to spend.

I built my own table from the plans furnished free from Dynatorch - works great! I did not go to Kentucky for training, but I am starting to wonder if that was a mistake...

The training is free and its usually a day, or if you need more instruction they will let you stay as long as you need to. We bought one, shipped out to us today and when it gets here I am flying to Kentucky for training.

The taining is free and they go thru all the software and then they make you cut some shapes. He said you can send as much time as you need at the factory.And they give free unlimited tech support.
