Hey Craig,

We own a Techno 3024 and love it. Paton Group here on the WestCoast supports the Techno line for educational uses.

http://www.patongroup.com/product-12..._Overview.html

The pricing on the site is just the bare machine, no ATC and no vacuum table. I'd get the 4896 vs the 3024, the person in charge 4-5 years ago when we got ours just bought the cheapest one. Even a 48x48 would do.

I'd say we can get +-.001 C-C. According to the rep you can get better. We've made everything from Rails to Gearbox Plates to Manipulators on our router. Just add a mister and g2g to cut aluminum. If you have the money I'd totally recommend a CNC router.

-RC
