    Web search comes up empty. Got a Link? It's hard to keep up with all the brands. I'm starting a scrapbook and waiting to see how many survive the next two years!

    What kinda software? Wrong software is worse than none!

    Well, I looks like a nice machine and they use MACH2 (which should be upgraded to MACH3). The only thing that confuses me is the pictures all show machines built with what looks to be Nylon or high density ureathane material but the specs (which are pretty slim) talk about "steel". Maybe a steel base? It looks like you get an old version of BobCAD (ver 18) and MACH2 and any upgrades are on you. MACH upgrades for a legit license are free but not so with BC.

    There is no information about the electronics involved other than they talk about using servos in the text but all of the products are stepper based (??)
    I would gather from the specs that they are using one of the multi-axis single board motor drives (aka Xylotex, HobbyCNC, etc) directly connected to a parallel port. The 24 power supply and motor sizing and 1/8 microstepping are the clues. There is nothing wrong with that design and hundreds have used it.

    Essential things like Homes and Limits are optional.

    I don't see enough information to be able to say this machine is any different than the dozens of other small router based machines being offered out there.

    If the pricing is as related on the web, then they would be on the high side for a machine of this size and accuracy.
